Dale-
Your gun seems just what the agents have in the video, other than the medallion in the Pachmayrs. I think whether they had the medallion depended on when the grips were bought.
I think the four-inch guns went to uniformed Customs agents and the three-inch barrels went to plainclothes personnel.
I agree: you have both a collectible and a fine field revolver.
It's a shame that the Clinton Administration seems to have ordered most of these destroyed. I doubt we'll see releases of any future government-retired guns, alas.
The WW II .45 autos are going to be priced like collectibles, which they are, rather than as typical Govt. surplus guns.
