Default Ship Year .38 M&P C 41243 ?

Have a .38 M&P sn C 41243 . The Standard Catalog gives a date range of 1948 to 1951 .
Can any of you gentlemen help narrow that down ?

Probably late 1948 or early 1949.

I agree with David. It is probably within the range of guns assembled in 1948, but very easily could have shipped the following year. I show one just a bit higher that left the factory in January, 1949.

Better yet, join the SWCA, but, in the meantime order a history letter. Neat destination!

If Don says that, do so! He has ways of knowing such things

(Keep a screenshot of his post. If you pay for the letter and it’s NOT a neat destination, he’ll refund your money )

Of course I think it's neat, he may not.
