Roger,

In addition to the 250 guns which shipped in Sept. 1939, there was an additional shipment of 200 guns that shipped on Jan. 30, 1940. These guns were all 4" and blue finish. Since that model could be ordered with any style of front sight, it wasn't generally listed on the invoice but I believe that most, if not all, were Baughman on a plain ramp.

There was another shipment of 26 guns which shipped on July 3, 1940. Of those 26 guns, two had 3.5" barrels and one had a 6.5" barrel!. The other twenty-three had 4" barrels.

Another interesting variation found in the KCPD guns is the mixture of plain and Humpback hammers. As far as I know, no one has satisfactorily explained whether these were original or added when the guns were factory refinished when they were deaccessioned by the Department.
