OP, you might want to invest in a S&W historical letter. It is almost certainly a Vietnam contract piece, but it would be nice to document the contract and delivery info. Even with one already in hand, I would have bought that one without hesitation. I am glad my post got it into a S&W collectors hands. It could have ended up as somebody's glove box gun or worse (I am imagining it rattling around in some wet tackle box as a "snake gun").

My Dad had me buy a Colt Cobra which was like the one he carried in addition to an M2. He worked out of the US embassy during the TET offensive.. but he wanted a Cobra... He also bought a Browning BDM, in memory of the cases of Browning Hi Powers without serial numbers used by the MACVSOG gents.. he was offered a couple??? but passed due to their lack of serials.
