George P. is very correct in stating that no order book information will be available in this serial number range. That means that no purchaser information will be available, only the basic specifications of the gun. As long as we're asking "Hamner" questions, my Commanding Officer in 1969 was Captain George Hamner whose combat unit patch was the 101st Airborne with Ranger stripe. I don't know what other units he had been affiliated with. He was a well repected company officer who sentenced me to purchase a $25.00 ($18.75 net) savings bond after returning from an eleven day questionable leave. I modeled my supervisory career after Captain Hamner for 29 years in the private and government sector. I just googled him for the first time since 1969. I am amazed that I pick my friends so well.
