I would assume a letter from Roy would be a good place to start, it will most likely letter to the PD it went to is my guess.

It’s likely a 1924 vintage.
It’s been my observation that during that time period it was more common than after WW II for police departments to order through a local dealer rather than directly from the factory. The letter might show both. As an example, I have a letter for the same model (I’ve shown the gun here previously) from 1923 which contained that information.
