Regulation police
I acquired a Regulation Police at a small local gun show. It appears all original with grips numbered to gun. It doesn't look to be fired much but does have some finish wear. Serial #30399. Is this a pre model 33? I estimate the manufacture date as around 1933.

Plus the stocks are 1920s style. It’s a few decades too early to label it pre-Model anything.
I looked for some dated examples for someone else and found some 24xxx specimen in later 1923. So 1925 - 1927 would be my wild guess.

It has the one line "made in USA" so it is after 1922. I appreciate the help.

Walt,
Extremely nice example.
I agree, likely from 1925.
If it has the 2nd style sidepalte mounted hammer block safety it's from after 1925.
