If you sent in the $50 fee to the Cody Museum for as historical letter, I bet it would document your '94 as 1947 or so.

A friend did that his letter read

The year of manufacture for serial number xxxxxxx is Between 1943 and 1948..
No records are available form 1943 - 1948.

It appears they estimate that 1949 began with 1500000.

150000 was the first gun made in '48, it was presented to Pres Truman to signal the restart of normal production
