Here is one.

The other example I personally observed and is a HBH 38/44 OD shipped to a police chief in Mass.

Ooooo.....this is very promising! Thank you for pointing this out!

I'm on my way out to run errands but tonight I'll have the lanyard installation photos up and we can compare. Certainly the s/n stamping style is identical and that alone has made me relax my sphinter (vis a vis 'defaced' s/n).

Best,
