Its a fairly rare occurance, but it does happen on some of the early 39 No Dash Models. I have probably seen it 4 or 5 times. There are also serveral Pre 39's that were sent back for repair and came back with the same serial numbers but Model 39 stamp on them. It may be worth lettering to find out if this is one of those pistols or what is going on with it. The SN seems a bit high for that, but there is a chance. Since the pistol is in good shape the letter would also increase the collectors value of your 39, since you would now know where it was shipped and when.
