I have a double stack, Steel Frame, 9mm SN: 67xxx with long extractor rod, like the 39's of that serial number range, stamped 39-2. It sort of looks like the 39 is centered, then the -2 while still inline makes the 39-2 appear as it is not evenly centered right & left. Premium, deep, rich, show quality blue. the stocks are from a 39 but trimmed down to take the bump out of them for the more streamlined, grip-frame area. The back of the stocks are written in black marker "Walter Patak". I was hoping someone would help me find out if Walter Patak (or some name similar to PATAK) worked for S&W. If it were marked 147A, I would not have questioned it except the premium blue and the akward grips. It came from Rick Carlson, a jeweler and gun dealer in Springfield, Mass. about 20 or more years ago from a GunList advertisement. My buddy Don ( I won't say which "Don") was going to help find out about Walter Patak.
