Boblade,
Yeah...Like I tell folks "all of the time": Ya' can get close on some of these ol' Randalls, but it ain't an exact science. There were also some late 43 and 44 Randalls, referred to on occasion as 3 1/2's. I know you have heard of them, Ron. My sketchy mind is good on some recall, but certainly not all. I think there is a photo somewhere of a Model #1, Model #2, and a Model #4 from around late 1943. At any rate, thanks for the update. I'm sure folks can get a pretty good idea about the history of these blades from all that has been posted. Best, Captain Chris Stanaback
P.S. I found the photo. It is on Page #68 of Gaddis' book! Mid 1944, according to Bob. CCS
