Sadly none.

Well, that certainly implies that the m84/86/87 actions are all numbered together - and also implies a much lower production total than expected.

I think you could allude to that, and not be far off the truth. I am continually amazed at the way the company was run...........and so may I add, do the people that worked there to, it was all over the place!!!

The only rational piece of judgement seems to have come from the renumbering and re modelling on the C3A1 order from Canada!!!

Gil,
what is the lowest M84, m85, m86, m87 action by serial number?
what are the highest?

the documents you hold, is there a specific period of time which they cover?

Thanks
D
