Bill Zachow,
I'm pasting an old e-mail I sent to Bill Mullins. You can see his reply. I guess I should have mentioned that in my first reply to this thread.

Book 53 ends with 150697 and book 57 starts with 159362. How is it that the Serialization Book lists many guns that we don't have the stock books for????

However, they did let Roy Gunther take home one order book at a time so he/we could go through them & extract guns D grade & higher so we could include those serial numbers in our book. Of course, that same data base formed the Serialization Book.
