Title: Big or small e/655 serial range?
Post by: gebirg on March 02, 2017, 09:42:25 AM

Any serial range or random use of big or small 1941 made e/655 HSc?
This one has serial 719760 - will get it in my hands next weekend!

Hello Asle:  The first Large Eagle 655 was 708708 (February 1941) and the last Small Eagle 655 was reported as 710508 (March 1941).  So for the one month production in between those numbers is a mix of both.  I would expect your 719760 (May 1941) to be the Large Eagle 655.

Beautify example!  Looks like a large 655 to me.  (But still on outstanding example)  I sure would not kick it out of my collection.
