These are original documents from the files of the Office of the Chief of Ordnance in the National Archives.

John, thanks for posting the list. Still have some questions however.

I neglected to mention that the pages are extracted from two separate documents. They are not the same document. One has more pages than the other. Both came from the same file in the National Archives.

I also point out that Redfield Gun Sight's code is "RG". So, the "RP" Redfield is a different company. And, finally, you should be aware that Redfield is a small town in New York not far from Ilion.

And, finally, I will mention that these documents in their entirety were posted on the CMP website for a number of months before being taken down. I will make these documents available for permanent posting on this website if interested.

I rest my case!

I've got 2 original 4,18x,xxx 03-A3's. One rear swivel is marked RP, the other is marked R. So they must have still used at least a few R marked swivels late in production.
