Dwight,
That was my first reaction too when I saw your list. Then I considered that there had to be some marketing done even back in those days, so I toyed with the possibility of a sales sample. Another gun close to the one on your list is a comfort factor for that hypothesis. But, a "much earlier" number is a little disconcerting. You would think samples would be fairly close serial number-wise.
So many questions, so little facts. <<Sigh>>
