[Sheriff Langston]

Very useful info.

I have another list (from Bates & Cumpston's Percussion Pistol book) that gives 1945 to 1953 as Arab numerals 1-9 rather than Roman I to IX - are you sure they used Roman?

Your BD for 1996 looks like a typo - I think it shgould be BH

[Major 2]

All the lists I've seen are Roman...you're correct on my typo ( I fixed it thanks )

All i find is the serial number, company and caliber.
