I thought that was an obvious observation that I never thought of so I asked him ....... 80 was the answer for production and about the same for the ones in the white. I updated the tables based on his response.

As long as we're talking about updating the Parker Reproduction Production Chart . . . there are only 9 BHE .410 shown in the Production Chart. Here is a pic of a B .410-0052. This would seem to be factual evidence that there were at least 52 produced -- and likely more.

Hi Robin, If I understood Geoffroy correctly in my recent communication he indicated approximately 80 A1 Customs he engraved during his 15 year tenure with Reagent and another 80 or so post Reagent employment as an independent
contractor. I don't think the 80 number applied to A1 Factory Engraved in Japan
as now reflected in your Production Table. That number probably is much higher.
Earlier numbers tossed around were in the 350 range... Jack Skeuse may have
an idea on the Japanese engraved A1 production. Thanks!

I have been told by a source who would know, that all orders to Japan were in minimum quantities of 25 and always multiples of 25. So based on that metric and your picture, there would be at least 75 410's.
