Jon S, If I understand you correctly you are suggesting no second series serial number (HAL over pistols) has been found below 200?? My data base lowest is #293.

The highest serial number gun on my data base is #2472, an almost 9 pound Diamond Quality model 275 ejector gun with 32" barrels. If what you are suggesting is true (no reason to doubt it) that might have been among the last of the SxS.

The world cries out for such: he is needed & needed badly- the man who can carry a message to Garcia
