The S&W letter for my gun shows that it was shipped to the Fredericksburg Police Department, Fredericksburg, Virginia. The gun is
98%+, and has clearly not been reworked/reblued. My guess is that the gun was ordered for target practice and had the magna stocks as a special order. The stockes fit perfectly. However, as I mentioned, the letter says only that it left the factory with "checkered" stocks. This would explain the stocks and the lack of S/N on them. But this is a guess.
