I am new to this site and saw a survey about flatbands. I have a 94' 25-35 flatband serial #1442614. Hopes this helps in the survey. Thanks

Thank you... that is a new serial number for the survey. It should have a type-2 receiver frame, and a serrated hammer. The barrel date (if you check it) should be "47".

I'm still learning what is a type-2 receiver frame look like or is differentiated? I would guess the barrel date is on bottom side of barrel.

Based on the fact that it was manufactured in 1947, it is a type 2 receiver frame. The difference between a type 2 and a type 3 is at the transition from the upper tang to the receiver frame. The type 2 has an approximate 45-degree angle, whereas the type 3 is much sharper with nearly a 90-degree transition (see the pictures below).
