    The checkered elevating cap and knurled windage knob were used well into 1942 (Duff's data)

    The type 1 lock bar starts to appear in the early 500,xxx serial range (Duff's data sheets)

    an original short pinion and original Type 1 lock assembly sell for $600 to $800 (have seen higher prices)
