Here's a picture:

As you can see, there is a brown paper, pasted on correction to the address for Auto-Ordnance Corporation on the front cover indicating "Bridgeport, Connecticut, U.S.A." on the front cover. Underneath the pasted on correction, from what I can see, is the same printing as the 1936 handbook, stating, "New York, N.Y., U.S.A." and "Cable Address: "Autordco-New York." The inside title page also has the same pasted in address correction, as can be seen in the picture below.

I'm curious if anyone else has ever seen one of these with the pasted on address correction, and whether they might be able to provide photo documentation of their example. I always like to obtain as much documentation as possible on paper items, and that's why I include the scans of my examples.
I know the Bridgeport plant was acquired in August, 1940, and production began in 1941, so I am assuming this handbook with the pasted-over address is a very early example of the 1940 handbook if the address had to be changed.
Just for backup info, I am including links to some of the other 1940 catalogs I have had in stock over the years. I currently have 5 in stock, and I have not scanned them all in, but the following additional 15 scans should provide some documentary evidence of the 1940 catalog in general.
Here are some "First" editions, covering the Model of 1928:

Here are some "Second" editions, with the overstamped "Model M1" on the cover, and the same brown colored paper cover as the first edition.

Please post if you have any information regarding the pasted-over address correction example of the 1940 handbook.
Thanks in advance!
