Those of us with an interest in the Victory model are familiar with the "CIVIL DEFENSE" markings, found in various shapes on some US Victorys and assumed, but not firmly documented, to be post-war additions.
(See pic. 1 + 2; apologies to the original posters; I snipped these off the forum some years ago without noting whose they were.)
I just came across the photos of the oddball C-prefix M&P in pic. 3 + 4, dating to the mid-1950s. This is the first time I've seen a civil defense marking on a civilian revolver. Anyone else?
I don't really need another pre-Model 10. But it would sure be interesting to see who or where this gun letters to.
