About 300,00 were sold to N.R.A. members back then. All sales were recorded at R.I.A. and can be verivied through the CMPicon.
Are you sure that "All sales were recorded..and can be verified through the CMP" I have my Dads IBM AO I would like like to document.

I've read Orest Michaels comment that only about 5% of search requests for DCM sales requests result in a hit.
