Fn Serial Number Dates

Friends,
For those who may be interested, I am posting here a list of the serial numbers of all FN 1905 pistols that I have observed or seen reliable reports of. These numbers are taken from online auctions, dealer stock, reports from private collectors and various published sources.
Special acknowledgement goes to Anthony Vanderlinden, author of FN Browning Pistols: Sidearms That Shaped World History, whose serial number list of Russian contract marked pistols, police-marked pistols (and others) is incorporated into this master list, and to member Jason (jtshafiz), whose list of observed 1905 serial numbers is also incorporated here.
Any additional reports are most welcome.
Note: In the descriptions, 'no safety' means no manual safety lever - trying to be brief so as to keep most of the entries on one line if possible. Also, remember that some of the descriptions/notes next to the serial numbers are not my own, so in some cases I may not be prepared to support or interpret them since they are occasionally copied as they were furnished to me in deference to the contributors.
