The original Silver Jet Model G6129 reissued in 1989 was more closely based on the 1957 reissue that wasn't released at that point. When the 1957 reissue came out in 1994, and the 1962 reissue in 1996, the Silver Jet Reissue was designated a general model - not closely based on one particular year. Be careful when determining exactly what Silver Jet model you have.
