There were far more earlier models. The 1902 Carbine was a standard, if somewhat limited, production gun with an estimated 2500 pieces produced. The 1920 Commercials were special order items and were not produced in large numbers. Dwight Gruber has recorded only about 30 examples and most of them are two digit serial numbers. The 1920 guns were assembled as needed and there is considerable variation in existing examples.
