zonker5,
Thank you for your contribution! Based on information in the database, your revolver would have shipped mid-1943, probably May-June. Since it was acquired from an RAF pilot, may I presume that it is a 5"-barreled example in .38 S&W (NOT .38 Special)? If so, a historical letter will simply show that it shipped to the Hartford Ordnance District in Springfield, Mass.; there would be no records at the S&W factory to show where it was shipped from there.
retarmyaviator,
Yes, Charlie and I have that SN in the database already. Thanx again!
Steve
