Hi,

The Titan is generally classified as having been made in seven variants or possibly eight if you consider the long barreled version of the fourth series. In collecting circles this particular model would consequently be classed a fifth series pistol. The numbers stamped on the rotating cocking plunger are believed to be some form of assembly identification and are not recognised as being serial numbers.

Still a nice pistol with the high end of the estimation being in the right ball park when commission is added.
