    So cal 265 was made earliest from 1950 according to that site? I searched around before and I thought it was made from 1949?

    From the site you linked: But I heard about 1949 regarding to cal 265 before so I guess that site is just a estimate.

    11,000,000 – 11,999,999

    1947

    12,000,000 – 12,999,999

    1950

    The cal 265 was used for many years. 1949 was just when it was introduced. You can very we’ll have a cal 265 Omega from 1950.

    Ok then I know when it was introduced at least :) That site made me confused and thought they meant it was introduced 1950. But I really want to know if it's from 1949 or 1952 as an example.

    Then you know what to wish for for Christmas ;)
    It is likely from 50 or 51 but the extract is the only way to know for certain.
