Good morning everyone. I need some help with a gun I'm looking at acquiring. It's a Manchester Arms Commando Mark-45. Here are my questions.
1. From all the pieces I have seen the S/N are 45R*****, the one I'm looking at the S/N is 000** with NO 45R prefix. Is this a really early piece or did they drop the 45R later?
2. It has the same patent # as the Volunteer Commando, so which came first, the Volunteer or Manchester?
3. Any ideas on date of mfg?
4. It's missing the from sight, any idea on where to find a replacement?
5. Rough idea on value?
Thank you in advance for any/all help.
