Hello chaps,

I have a 6" barrel, S&W, R.A.F property marked (M&P?) revolver. Number on butt 699756, apparently the number 32120 is also present. Original bluing as far as I can tell, said to have been issued to an RAF pilot in WW2, he kept it after the war and it was in his possession until 2020/21 when it was discovered and deactivated to current EU spec to make it legal.

Wondering when it was manufactured and when it could have been issued within the RAF? Does this pre-date the Lend-Lease program? Is it a "Cash and Carry" era firearm?
