Mine is MD51130 and it is 7/53. Yours is probably a 52, that's the year production started on the MD (M38A1).

I need to pin it down for sure to put the correct year on the title.
It seems it could be a "53".... Jan. or so but not sure.
Anyone know what Jan. '53' had for serial numbers?

I found a source of MD38A1 serial numbers.
MD 33667 Dec. 1952
MD 37407 Jan. 1953
MD 48020 April 1953
That would put mine in Jan. or Feb. 1953

49940 May '53 not that it matters at this point since it seems to be narrowed down enough now.
