I've just acquired a High Power made in 1978, according to the letter code in the middle of the serial number.
I'm puzzled by the first three digits of the serial number. One source says, a 245 means that it is chambered for 9mm. Mine is 9mm but the first three digits are 215. The Blue Book mentions 215 but says only that it is "rare." I believe the Blue Book also says the first three digits are supposed to provide information about the place of manufacture. So I'm trying to figure out what I've got.
My gun has rubber Pachmayr grips with a thumb rest. Magazine safety. What looks to me to be the black enamel-painted finish. Right-hand safety only.
I'm still researching on my own, but would appreciate any info.
