Default Model 5943 PD Issued

Picked this up before the holidays and finally got around to cleaning it up and swapping out the aftermarket grips for my preferred straight grip.

In that process I found this on the frame that I'm guessing isn't factory so I'm guessing an internal number from the Cleveland PD maybe?

Came with the box and while SCSW puts the S# to about 1991 maybe the product code matches a 5943TSW code from a 1996 PD order. Great piece to add to my PD marked collection.

That is a factory number and is the part number for the frame.

Just bought the same model and exact same markings from Cleveland Pd although a bit of holster wear and the sights seem a bit dim. Both magazines also have the restricted Le and Gov use warnings on also.
