B-17G "Happy Gal" with odd serial number...info needed

[harrison987]

Alex,

Nah, it is not a number for the bombsight.

Please note that there are a lot of errors on that website, as confirmed by the owner.

It is probably a situation of bad handwriting, as it could reads "44-19101".

I have had other parts when sloppy/quick handwriting that appears to indicate one thing, when it was something else...7 for a 1...6 for an 8, etc.

This is an original wartime tag, and the info on it is 100% legit. Just a matter of trying to determine if maintenance was smoking crack at the time of writing.
