Sistema's with "A" in Serial Number (photo)

[hognfrog1]

I am looking for anyone that has a Sistema with an "A" prefex on the serial number that is on the side and top of the slide.
I am trying to find out the range of serial numbers that were sent to the C.F.S in 1954.
Initial search with help from several people found 2 shipments of 100 pistols each, but I have found 3 pistols outside of the range of the 2 shipments, this leads me to believe that it was one large shipment (750-1000 pistols) because of the range of serial numbers I have located.

I have found 5 so far and would like to know if anyone else out there has one???
All that I have found were purchased from SOG about 18/24 months ago & the slide is marked C.F.S

Do you know what C.F.S. stands for?

Information I have received states:
C.F.S. (Consejo Federal de Seguridad)= Federal Internal Security...I guess that would make it sort of like our CIA or FBI.

Still searching for anyone that has A Sistema with an "A" in the serial number and Marked C.F.S.......
Thanks

I went to the Tulsa gun show this weekend. They have between 3500 and 4000 tables of stuff. Very worth while trip if you ever get a chance to attend. While there I saw a C.F.S. marked pistol with serial number A81185. Frame, slide, barrel all matching. Phosphate type finish. I didn't think to write down the asking price.

Doran,
Thanks for the information, I have added it to my list of serial numbers of Sistema's with an A in the serail number.
The Sistema I have is serial number A81143 so the one you saw is only 42 numbers off from the one I have.
I appreciate the help in trying to find out the range of these "A" marked weapons
ANYONE ELSE HAVE OR KNOW OF A "A" marked SISTEMA please post the serial number.
Thanks again.
