Ok. I have a good(bad) one to show.
5 inch barrel. .38 S & W. Refinished, it's now blued instead of parkerized. Barrel has no number at all. Assembly numbers on frame and crane don't match. Cylinder number does not match. A good thing, it still has it's own sideplate.
. It's marked US property GHD on the top strap and p behind the cylinder. And it's marked Bavaria Municipal Police. No British marks. A marking I can't decypher above the front end of the trigger guard. Serial number V666397(great three first numbers, right?
).
It's still a work in progress. It came with the bolt plunger bushing missing. Fixed that only to find out the crane was out of whack so the latch will not close because the center pin will not align with the hole.
currently waiting for the tool to fix that to arrive.
But it was the only M & P type I found. So I bought it anyway
Edit. Almost forgot. It has "modern" German civilian proof marks.
Now my usual lousy pictures.
