One of Two Hundred?

The pistols were issued to the field in November of 1901, and recalled from the field starting in 1906 with all being turned in by 1907. The very slight difference in the serial number range of the out of range pistols does not seem to bear out the theory that as the pistols were damaged or destroyed they were replaced with new pistols. Unless confirming evidence is located, we will probably never know the exact serial numbers of all the test pistols, either high or low.
