Picked this one up this weekend, it is quite the oddball, letter D non refurb laminate with a 1955 dated cover.

Now that's a looker. That lammy stock is awesome. Congrats! Does the 55' cover match or somethin?

Yes it matches, and all of these letter D's with matching 1955 covers is starting to make me wonder if we really actually know that the letter series were made from 56'-58' just seems like their is quite a few of them with dated covers to be a exception. Well we will probably never really know the truth. banghead2

All Ds.   Why would it be a stretch to say the letter guns started in 55 with the Ds?

That's where I was going with that I guess, I would love to know the research where they came up with the 56'-58'.

Probably from the same place we got the ex DDR's & Egyptian Contracts.

But this one has the star on the receiver as well... can't quite make out the alpha prefix, is it KP?
