| I have only a guess. The book number I would guess is the stocking number for the firearm in his log book. The other number is probably a code for what he paid for the firearm. The code could correlate to any number of codes. Even one of their own design. A dealer I knew when I was young would use a number code correlating to letters in RED SAIL OUT. Where the R would equal 1 and the E = 2 etc. So, if he paid 150 for something it would be coded RAT. with the T = 0. Not much help but...

| When I had my motor cycle shop I always coded the tags on sale items..067n would have been n for a sale item 67 bucks but in pawn probably was a pawn loan167PA would have been out right purchase from distributor 167 bucks the pa and the n is pure guess work. I coded it s for sale item and D for distributor and then a letter designating what dealer such as Drag specialties would have been DD ..Same as tex not much help !! |

Not to mention it generally makes all gun owners look bad. They tend to bunch us all together.
