Picked this up...pre-war lend/lease "Victory"?
Serial # 916322 matching on bottom of grip frame, cylinder and barrel. 38 S&W CTG; Made in USA; WB, P and "bomb" stamped on bottom of grip frame; "United States Property" stamped on top; hammer and trigger case hardened; smooth wood grips; NZ 2921 stamped on top of backstrap below hammer. Appears to be original bluing with lots of wear and patina. Tight lock-up and tight cylinder gap. I don't think the lanyard ring is original.
Any thoughts on dates and/or markings is appreciated.
Thanks.
