They show up on the auction sites regularly. I own more than a dozen of them and have nearly 800 in my database.
Thanks for the barrel length. Would you please send the serial number via PM or post it here?
Here's what I can tell you about the configuration of yours, based on the serial number:
1. Stocks should be the early postwar style with the diamond and the sharp shoulder and the stamped steel retaining washer behind the medallion (blued). Also, if they are original, the serial number, minus the S, will be impressed into the wood on the inside of the right panel.
2. The extractor will have the knurled end and no knob.
3. The hammer pivot stud will be pressed in place and barely visible below the thumbpiece.
4. The thumbpiece will have flat edges top and bottom.
5. There should be patent dates on the barrel, ending with Dec 29, 14.
6. There should not be a plugged lanyard hole on the butt.
Cheers!
