I’ve never received a letter that had a disappointing surprise but I have several letters containing positive surprises.

Brett, I checked your info, it's correct. It's possible the customer changed the configuration and it just wasn't recorded.. What you get in the letter depends on when the gun was made. If the gun was made before 1920 and we have the order book, you will get that info. If we have the stock book info, you will get that too in the letter. If made after 1919, you would only get stock book info assuming the book is not missing. You may get order info from the IBM card but it's very limited. This would be for later Remington guns.
Some of the records are in ink and easily read. Some are in pencil and have faded over time and are unreadable. They didn't realize that someone would be trying to read the books 100+ years later.
