Source - best possible source for information is Mr. John Stimson, - he's very nice and always ready to share the knowledge of Hi Standard's data.APSerial numbersRegular Serial numbers - Highest serial number shipped for the year. Regular numbers began with 5,000 which shipped October 15, 1932.Note the serial number research is a work in process and these numbers are the best estimates as of the revision data of this page. Although it appears that the guns were generally assembled in numerical sequence, the shipments were not and some guns remained in inventory for weeks, months, or even years between assembly and shipment. The only valid way to determine the shipping date is by researching the individual serial number in the factory records.

So, I'm happy to contribute with what I have, and save folks time. I appreciate many factual posts of yours too!APThe omnipotent potentate does deem this sticky worthy. Below are random found words by Mr Stimson from his forum.the first serial number for the ML prefix pistols which began at ML 01,001Production at East Hartford began in July 1977. Production of the ML prefix gun ended in Hamden in December 1976 but the G prefix 104 series production ended in October 1976 and the 103 series production ended in Hamden in January 1977.You are correct about the G prefix being the last of the slant grip pistol serial numbers. However the ML and G serial numbers ran in parallel until the slant grip pistols stopped production.Your guess about the MLG prefix being the first day is pretty far off the mark.
There were no military grip Sport Kings until after the move to East Hartford. The first ML serial number in East Hartofrd was ML 25,000. The first ML serial number by HSI was perhaps ML 29,709 but then they skipped from ML29,721 to ML 30,000. The first ML Sport Kings were at ML 35,453 (September 1978).
