Back in 1980 I purchased one of the Remington Rand.Pythons produced from 1955 to 1969 have no letter in the serial number and are some. I am fortunate enought to have an early M1A1 folding stock carbine like my father possibly carried and all of its parts are documented to be original to its 1942 manufacturer.

The right grip has a letter M on the very bottom. The grips are dark wood (walnut?) and have the 3/4 diamonds where each of the four screws are that hold them on. And the hand grip part of the frame is rounded in both the front and the fits the hand very nicely.
