Speaking as no particular authority I am aware of 3rd Model .44's and other N-frames shipped from inventory during 1940 and 1941. But were ANY N-frames being manufactured? I thought that S&W were occupied with making .38's for the British and Uncle Sam during 1940 and throughout WWII. The 44 and other N-frames didn't reappear on the commercial market until 1946.
