Hi there. Seeking info and opinion on:
1. Manufacture date
2. Since the cylinder has the Crown BNG ENGLAND proof mark, does it mean this is a land lease model? Or a post-war mix parts firearm. (The cylinder has "v" and "400003" markings on the side of the surface where the ammo cartridge is inserted).
3. If the cylinder is a land lease for Breat Britian, shouldn't it be 38 S&W instead of 38 Special ?
4. Adding the commercial blue, barrel says 38 Special (i.e. not 38 S&W), and it has a British crown cylinder, what is this boy ? ; )
5. The barrel's blue is in better condition than the frame. Does it look to be a "home changed" barrel ?
Thank you for the time.
