Hey Bill,

Yep - I agree and heard the same account some time ago. For that, and out of the small sample I've looked at over the years, I know of one 1945 that is highly suspect. However, the others appear correct, but unfortunately - it's a small sample to draw from, so we may never know how many are "right" and how many have been "manufactured" post 1945. FWIW - I also believe there are some second variation 1944 HKs that fall into the same category...

Best to you!

John
