[Held for Ransom]

The manual may say that, but that's not how you'll look for them.
I usually see 5-10 days before ship date, but there have been some that were close.
Here is a M5/3 7 {VS) 27 HM. The hoop (outer piece) has an completed date of 7 22 and another of 7 12 with the 888 and 15x7JJ code (probably SAE standards).
