Shipped in the LAST order of Pre-War mags Dec 10, 1940, almost exactly one year before Pearl Harbor. Of course, the Czechs, Poles, Brits, and French didn't think this was Pre-War! Part of an order of 25, all in like configuration, shipped to the Wichita, Kansas PD. This is Ser # 62409.

On page 24 of the Jinks article, it says, “The last of the prewar Magnums were the 79 units finished in December, 1940. Three more magnums were built during World War II; two units in 1941 and one in 1942. No doubt these were for special high ranking officials.”

Lee, so Cal's gun, Phil's gun, which Phil won for shooting in 1942, and was a gift/prize from S&W, shipped later, right? So is Cal/Phil's gun the 1942 gun referred to in the Jinks article? If so, then is it the last, um, pre-postwar RM? Arlo
