Hmmm... I don't recall if the back strap looked like that or not, but the grips are extended past the bottom of the grip frame like your picture shows. I can't wait to get home to find out ...

An interesting thing about this revolver is that my mom (her dad, my grandfather) didn't know when he may have got the pistol. He retired from the LAPD in the late 60s (I think) and was sworn in in 1940. I also have his 2" carry 38 special and his LAPD issued 6" Colt 38 special as well as the documents for those guns. I didn't, however, have any information on this gun and was really interested in its history and age. My grandfather was born in 1916 so he may have gotten it as a gift from someone when he was a teenager or something. Again, thanks for all the information...
