Welcome to the forum . . . and thanks for posting what may be the earliest example of a special-order 4" (heavy) Combat Masterpiece. Very interesting . . . hopefully others will be able to respond with more information about where they might have ended up.

In addition to the 10 in the 1955 shipment, was there any indication in the factory letter that there were other shipments in the DOJ order?

Based on the serial number and ship date I expect yours is a 5-screw example (four side plate plus one at the front of the trigger guard). We would all enjoy seeing pictures if you're able to post them.
