Lot of history there with that revolver.

BTW, your holster is an M2 made by Fink Leather Shops in Kansas City. It was designed to carry the S&W N-frame M1917 .45 revolver or the Colt M1917 .45 revolver, so it might be a little roomy for your K-frame BSR.

I should add that your revolver likely shipped from the factory in the November-December 1944 time frame. It almost certainly shipped to the Hartford Ordnance Depot in Springfield, Mass. and from there on to British or Empire forces.

Thanks for providing the data on your revolver for the Victory Database. I will make sure that it is added.
