The one I have pictured is 56157. I have a bunch of info on this tucked away somewhere that I started compiling for a PP article. I was trying to narrow down a serial number and date range. It obviously starts with the first hammerless (55295). So, that right there is just under 1,000 numbers.
I had several recorded numbers of early guns that I knew did not have the hammer lifting feature. But I cannot find that list at the moment so I cannot say how larger the window may be. Not by much though.
