With the help of a lot of folks, I have now determined that the gun was the prize as it is listed in the program as a S&W Magnum revolver.

LaLonde won the 1st match of the Police Field Firing Match with a score of 75 besting the field by 2 points. This was on Aug 25, 1939.

I am still digging into the history of LaLonde but so far he has turned out to be a spectacular shot (1938 National Champion) and the instructor for the team. It has been a fascinating history to develop.
