I am confused and I am sure you can get me straight. I thought the picture above was of FF-1 SRE's and not the early FF-1's. Am I wrong?
1. How long were the FF-1's in production(Plain and SRE)?
2. Were they the largest in the VMPS line?
3. Is there a way to tell age by serial numbers?
Thanks
Jack

You are correct that the picture is of the SRE (Special Ribbon Edition)

I have modified the caption (thanks)

Brian will have to answer your other questions.
