Default 60 M&P Revolvers sold to Metropolitan Washington PD 1949

Yesterday I posted a page from an Evaluators Ltd. business diary. A July 29 1949 entry noted that a 2" .32 HE and a blue 4" ( B4 ) M&P had been loaned to the Metropolitan Police Department of Washington DC. Here's the September 14 order that resulted. 60 new M&P blue 2" revolvers ( I believe B2 indicates this ) delivered on September 23, 1949. The revolvers were stamped MPDC, it doesn't say where.
If your revolver is listed here I hope you'll post it.
Regards
Turnerriver

Great resource John. I love those snubby M&Ps from that era...but I don't have one on your list. I'm going to start a search...
