Gentlemen, we appear to have a match.

Troubledshooter and I both have Premiers with a batch no of 808.

David,
By N/C and N/L, do you mean No Code and No Letter? If you do, then my 808 is also undated with no letter. It is a blued 5 pin Premier from C.1970/71.

If both follow this pattern, it adds weight to the theory that batches of pistols shared the same number.

Thanks again to all who have contributed.

John
