RANDAL SHAW:
My records indicate that Randall Firearms Company previously mfg'd in Sun Valley CA, Mfg'd between June 7 1983 and December 1984 with the final plant closing in Jun 15 1985.
Before mfg ceased in May of 1985, 24 models with 12 variations in 3 different calibers had been produced. In some instances, production on certain models was very limited and premiums for these low volume niches are starting to develop. Between Jun of 1983 and May of 1984 9,968 handguns were made with 75% of all 9mm cal. being exported to Europe and 35% of 9mm production employing a 10 groove barrel. Models mfg'd after 1984 came equipped with an extended slide stop, long trigger and beavertail grip safety. Production ser no's started at 02000 for right hand models and 02100 for left hand models. All but the first 200 (approx) serial numbers started with "RF" and ended with "C" OR "W". A few rate mis-marks are in circulation. Total mfg for all models and variations was 9,968.
Randall prototype serialization starts with "T"-----less than 45 were mfg'd. In addition, 78 serial numbers under 2,000 were mfg'd by special order.
Hope this helps
