I was curious to know if this #27, as claimed to be on this older add in a sold Guns International post, was in fact a rack number, or what it might be. According to the picture, it’s pretty plain to see it’s been on there awhile, and the seller claims it to be a, “Rack Number”.
Bob,
I’m hoping you or you’re brother, or any other member may know what it stands for or means. Heck, maybe a member here has it or, maybe bought or sold it. I don’t recall ever seeing it before, or anything like it.
I find it very interesting.

Anthony,
Yes that is a rack number. There is a consecutive gun to it I found, serial 13301 that is marked 34 on the top tang but no picture of the upper tang that was sold on Julia’s Auction in their October 2015 auction. That gun is full nickel but they state how it letters but it didn’t mention the nickel and the gun has assemble numbers which they think means it was special order but the gun was in the warehouse for about 3 months. No mention of a rack number in the ledger. The gun on GI looks like it was a blued gun when looking around the trigger and saddle ring. Who ever bought it should have Cody research the ledger for other guns in that order number because there might be 34 of them.
