RoninPhx, ...has military stampings... ? Please describe these stampings, or post photos. Depending on whether a T-Lock was issued from stores, or a private purchase by an officer, the regulations required specific stampings on the gun, both when purchased and/or issued and then again later when the gun was decommissioned or sold surplus, etc. A lot can be deciphered from the stamping that tells more about when, where and why the gun was used. If your T-lock was a private purchase by the officer, it should letter as shipped to a S&W distributor in England. If it was issued and was part of the purchase by Remington Arms for the Brits, it should have the correct issue marks/stamps. The reason we collectors even have the chance to acquire these guns was the result of British laws requiring the turn in and destruction of privately owned handguns, but allowed a grace period for shipping the guns out of England, so many were sold to US dealers, by families of the deceased soldiers who had retained the guns after WW1.
