Mitchell 300 Series 8th Version
The 8th version main determining factor was area on the Cover Plate near the Anti-Reverse (A/R) Lever where the A/R Pin at the A/R Dog (inside) was reinforced as you can see. This was the last old style “300” series made and apparently only distributed with Garcia’s name engraved.
The one shown with serial number G151205 was the first year these were made in 1977 just prior to the new GM 300A Red Band. This was also the first time this style box was used with interchangeable model number inserts.
