Bill, I'm thinking Trade Sample or Tournament Sample too. I haven't been able to find a S/N that is listed in both the IBM cards and in Repair Book 101.

Dean, the Pro you see on every IBM card I believe is short for the word produced. I've found a different person who wrote in the info on the card and he spelled it Prod.. Usually the Pro date is a few days before the shipping date however I've seen many examples where the Pro date was a few days after the shipping date. How can that happen?

R.G. shows up quite often, sometimes by itself, sometimes followed by a date, and quite often it was "warehouse to factory." I've also found examples that said E & D. I've found E & D written out more fully and it reads "Employees and Disp, Sales Dept, Remington Arms. I've also seen E & D to Advertising Dept. What Disp means, I have no clue. Perhaps the gun was bought by an employee.
