Funny how that S&W made it's way overseas!
I was just wondering as in the letter, Roy Jinks wrote he has no idea about the RBf or R3f markings meaning, so they are not as common and easily identifiable as assembly marks like the factory 5 digit number and even the 4 and the Ko he did not mention in the letter.
But still the other question remains, is there any chance to associated this gun with anybody from the NYPD only by serial number. Btw looks if something has carefully grinded off the backstrap, maybe the officers name or shield number, so only got the sn. As searched the forum, the one to know maybe is Mr. Vivas but he seems absent for a while.
