First anyone can get a Cody Letter. All that is needed is a Serial Number and a $55 check. With that being said, the Monogram serial numbers were listed in Brophy's Book. How easy would it be to have a gun "Upgraded", call send Cody a check and use one of the Serial Numbers in the book. The misspelled words and questionable looking letters could be an accident or could have been done on purpose to prevent the misrepresentation as an original gun.
