Have 2 butt swivels on the way and looking to swap the checkered medallion grips for a set of victory grips on the 38/200.
No acceptance stamps or property marks on either one. Perhaps the V model is a DSC gun?
SN's 746990 P and V 508708
Thanks!

The patent marked hammer was used on pre-war guns, I have no good idea when it was stopped, I think late 1930s. It referred to the finish, not the hammer itself. My guess is that the hammer is a replacement. 746990 would date it as shipping in probably mid-1941, maybe a little earlier. V508708, probably around early 1944. In mid 1941, there would have been no factory-applied property stamp. That came after the Lend-Lease act in late 1941. With no property stamp on V508708, chances are high that it was a DSC gun.
