Research letter did not reveal much, unfortunately. Apparently, there is not much information on this serial number. The existing records show only one gun made with this serial number, but there are clearly two. I will say LC Smith Collectors' Association puts together a good looking research letter. Talked to the guy I bought it from and he said his father in law acquired them from somebody in Jesup, Georgia. Jesup may not be the end of the earth, but you can see it from there. The mystery continues . . .
