Photos of my Post WWII M&P. Spoke about it in a previous post, and couldn't figure out the picture posting part of the equation. Everything matches, 5" bbl, Shipping date is around 1946.

That is a nice looking revolver! I don't own a 5" but think look well balanced.

Don't know if this was mentioned before, but this one is called a "Transitional model" by collectors, because it has the large ejector rod end and the one-line stamping on the right frame (Made in U.S.A.) These features were present on pre-war (and wartime Victory Model) revolvers, but went away not long after 1946. Nice example.
