    Latest AKS I have on record is 18417, earliest CTS is 18442. Peter's s/n list in his publication were just rough estimates. Sorry for the crapy pic's (stolen from the web)

    Fair enough....

    What the latest CTS from 2nd batch that you have on record then, as mine is only just over a 100 or so from the end number in Peter's book?
