All serial numbers match and it is chambered for the 38 S&W not 38 Special.

I have heard that many bomber crews made see-through stocks from plexiglass bomber windows. Sometimes pictures of family members are found under the plexiglass. This gun is in that tradition.
Funny story there was pictures under the grips, a naked English gril on one side and a naked Arab girl on the other. When the gun was shipped back to my grandparents after Dad was shot down and captured, my Grandmother would not allow it in the house until those pictures were removed.

The hole in the base is for a lanyard loop. You can find one and reinstall it if you are interested in bringing the gun back to original configuration.
Dad removed it so it would not hang on his clothes when he carried it in a shoulder holster.
