It likely shipped in late 1943. The absence of a topstrap marking indicates this was a gun that shipped to a stateside end user on a contract through the Defense Supplies Corporation, a public entity controlling wartime distribution. It could have gone to a police agency or a defense contractor for plant security. Another, statistically less likely possible recipient would be the US Maritime Commission, which equipped non-military shipping. A history letter would tell you.
