I have never seen a number with Xs included. This must be a rare one. Maybe an experimental gun or a prototype.

bill: interestingly, there are quite a few partially x numbered guns listed on various internet web sites...wonder why that is?

[Bill Murphy]

Maybe not as rare as I thought, huh?

rare us a relative term. if you want it and cant find it, then is is rare.
