I gave one to my father-in-law who had a carry permit (jeweler) and I still have one. BTW, the serial numbers are sequencial.
So, without checking, I would figure the ES had guns ny-1's in stock long after the recall.

I've seen Equipment Bureau sales to non-MOS: DA's office, United Nations, Fire Marshalls, Sanitation police, City Marshall, Department Surgeons (!), and a few others. Oddly I have copies of sales ledgers from the 1920's where it has pistol permit coupons stuck in the book, indicating sale to someone who needed a pistol permit and thus was presumably not on the job.
