byf41 655&135 both proofs

Tickkk/Bryon,
* Thanks for your S/N's above.
* Yes, the byf'41's started sporadically in the "n" block, went thru the "z" block, continued sporadically into the no suffix block, and (I'm told) ended @ about 1000b. Please notice the black plastic grips/black plastic fxo mags were being used more frequently in the ns block and beyond as the supply of wood grip/Al base mags were dwindling.
* How many mixed WaA examples?? Don't know yet! Too few reported. Have the no suffix block starting with S/N 597_ ... a BYF'42 w/ dual sE135's!! When Tickkk saw 7xxx_ (above) and if it isn't 7063_, then my dBase knows of 9 examples between 4801_ to 8849_ including the 3 in this post. Coupled with the byf'41's with dual sE655's, byf'41's with dual sE135's, and byf'42's with dual sE135's being produced contemporarily, the transition quantity of any one style is too cloudy to estimate with any assurity due to the lack of reported examples.
* Tickkk: please report 7xxx_ when/if you examine it again. Please also note its Inside sideplate number, mag type, and grip type.
* Tickkk & Bryon: What are the #'s inside the sideplate of your respective examples?? The database tells me it's hungry & I got to feed it good numbers before it will be meaningful. BTW, mine is 64...one digit higher than the first 2 digits of my gun's S/N 6345_.
Thanks,
WR
