From NY to Boise, makes one wonder by what means and who carried it out there. :)

I sent off for it in late November. (reply)

They sent me a confirmation card in early December that stated a 100-120 day turn-around.

In this day that seems like forever. It's a nice reality check.

Factory letters are fun... (reply)

and sometimes confusing. It's common for close serial #s to be years apart on shipping. There's all kinds of weird and interesting things in factory letters.

How long did that letter take to come to you?

It is still just as it was from the factory. Interesting that Colt's website says it was made in 1939, but the shipment date was 1947. I never thought a piece of paper was worth $75, but this is very neat to have for the first time.
