I am fortunate to have an early 6" M&P that was made in 38 S&W. S/N 697923 6" has no non-factory markings except Broad Arrow over RAF on the RHS of the body. It also retains nearly all its original finish.

I have no idea how it came to be in South Africa, but of course many Royal Air Force aircrew trained here during WW II. My wife's late father (Navigator) was one.
