    H&g ?

    I picked up a H&G 4 cav. It's marked 503.429 ? No serial #. Did they make them without serial#?

    Yes. Most of mine have no serial number.

    Collecting .32 molds. Please let me know if you have one you don't need, cause I might "need" it!

    SN didn't start until I think 1982 . Oregon address after 1974 . 1964-74 has California address .
    I just did a bunch of reading to nail down #130 .

    The SN wasn't 0001 etc . It was actually the work order number .

    My understanding was that the serial number was actually the invoice number. That's why you can see serial #'s like 2456-1, 2456-2....those were 2 moulds on the same invoice.
