Hi,

Have 1939 code 42 -- 4205 Q -- I have seen others, but most are the S/42 variation. Interesting fact about these is that the S/42's will have the mid eagle test proof, while the code 42's will have the late eagle test proof. Interesting in that 4201Q might be a S/42, and 4202Q a 42 code, but the test eagles will be different. Explain that to me?

Also, the proper magazines for the Q block gun would be a blue rolled, aluminium based magazine with the Straight Eagle 63 on the base. The 122's did not show up until really late 1939 or early 1940, and the 655 bases did not show up until late 1939.
