To add my final $0.000001 on this....
Tom, not all 1945s are bogus. I'm more inclined to agree with Jan's comments. For example - I know for a fact that there was/were example(s) of 1945 Chamber dated HKs in the factory when it was "liberated".
As well - I think it's dangerous to assign certain serial number blocks to the "fake" 1945s (and some of the 1944 2nd variation) - however, if my observations are correct on the 1945s I've been fortunate to see - I would agree that certainly they appear more within the 13000 range.
HTH,
John
