Their where 3500 guns made in 1937 starting with serial number 1. I have 2 first year production guns one in the 7xx range and one in the 25xx range. Both have been "updated" to the double extractors. From time to time I come across other first year guns on Gun Broker and they all seem to be updated as well. My guess is that they most likely updated all but a handful of them.
I would agree, like I said before from what I have read (Mr Snyder's book) only the one remains with the single extractor. There could be more its anyones guess.
