To shine the cold hard light of historical likelihood on this, the gun in this condition did most certainly not accompany Lt. Haller’s adventures on D-Day and in the Pacific.

The gun appears unissued with just storage blemishes. The turn line is likely from use by post-war owners. Methinks the good lieutenant, bless his service, bought the revolver as surplus in later life because it was a nice gun just like the ones he had in the war, and his family found it after his passing among his possessions. Thus the inevitable story. Just speculation, but probability is on my side.

The buyer overpaid somewhat for what is a pretty nice condition. I thought these were more around 600 - 700.
