Well I guess maybe the oxidation or pitting on the front of the receiver is due to the barrel being separated during storage and somehow wasn’t exposed to the same elements. My question now is why it doesn’t state 1/2 magazine, which I would expect having that special order feature. I have 8 or 9 Cody letters that show 1/2 magazine on several different models. 
  

Jesi was emailed and responded that there was no mention of magazine length in the records.

Well, if there’s one thing I’ve learned from WACA and this forum over the years, is the value of a Cody letter. I’m still not convinced on the difference in the barrel and receiver contrast mentioned before, and even more now with a special order feature not mentioned in the Cody info. Could’ve been missed back in the day but, could’ve should’ve would’ve is just a story to most collectors, other than the seller. I guess the buyer will have to make the decision if it’s correct or not.
