CJ2A Serial Number Help?

Post by Bruno Marshall » Wed Dec 14, 2016 4:14 am

Is this the Serial Number tag (214937)? It is titled as a 1948, but not by a serial number. Can you tell me anything about its Date of Manufacture, location, etc?

214937 would be a 1948.

Could be 214987. What does the frame tag say if it is present ?

Late '48s don't have a frame tag, and that's definitely a late one. BW
