M&P made for Great Britain 1942-45. Somebody plated it and fancied it up some. Caliber is 38 S&W not 38 Special unless modified and I would not shoot 38 Specials in such a gun. The problem is 38 S&W is rare and pricey. I posted a photo of what the gun looked like when new. It's worth maybe 2 bills.
