I found my membership number , I’m just curious if there is an extra charge for checking the box for the two day return search ?

I personally wouldn’t pay extra for the turnaround unless its significant research, they’re usually pretty quick up there! Might take them longer to verify your WACA membership than to find your letter info.

Not sure, I’ve ever only done email returns, not printed letters. I imagine there’s a cost but I can’t say for sure, sorry, just sharing an opinion I guess.

 

EDIT: if it’s for your new model 64, check your other post. Not sure they’ll have info for it other than manuf date/year.

A museum factory letter is about a month and any of the searches, email or phone are normally one to two days, sometimes if their not busy the same day for a Museum Members.

No, not if you are a Cody Member, and you have to be a member to get a search.
