So G&H was able to find an entry in their ledgers for No 665? This is great news!
They must have found a new stash of records. I remember talking to Bob Beach on the phone regarding my G&H #950 and he told me the records didn’t exist for the early rifles. I don’t remember what he told me the earliest serial numbers were they had records for at that time. Seems like 1200-1300 is where they began.
Here's the email response to my inquiry. Not as definitive as I previously thought... Still, I will print up the response as it does come from G&H...

Mr. Tolson,
Unfortunately we have no additional information on your rifle only that it was made in 1927.
Looks like a nice Griffin rifle built on a Springfield 1903 action with a G&H ¼ rib with express sights.
Thank you,
Paul
Vice President
