Beeman Double left stamp beeman r1 serial numbers

[zrman27500]

Trying to figure out how many of these rifles were made with the double left side stamp, I have heard they are extremely rare, and the beeman museum only had 1 or 2 examples of them, my rifle is serial # 903682, all rifles will be 1981 only! please anybody with a double left stamp rifle post your serial #'s to help figure out how many were made initially, thanks!!!!

Sorry, probably a dumb question, what does "double left stamp" mean?

Only the very earliest Beeman R1's have the Boswell Bear on the left side and the CA (San Raphael) city stamped on the same left side by the safety button. Later models have the city on the left and the Bear on the right...

Guess they are more rare then I thought......nobody has one on this site besides me and dualmagmike? We can't be the only nutty springer collectors out there with one of these... can we?

My two! Could possibly be that people never even noticed the odd stamping. I know of at least one or 2 people who had JNC FWB 124's and had no clue until I told them then they noticed it!
