I just acquired #V704810 (stamped with Flaming Bomb and "US Property GHD on top strap) complete with USN Boyt '43 holster. The revolver was reportedly carried by Aviation Ordanceman William Harold Arnold who served from July '42 through January '46. His complete service record was included in the purchase. He was assigned to the following:
Carrier Aircraft Service Unit 67
Carrier Aircraft Service Unit 7
Bombing Squadron 99
Carrier Aircraft Service Unit 5
Torpedo Squadron 20 & Fighter Squadron 20
Carrier Aircraft Service Unit 23
Hedron Squadron 5
Carriers USS Enterprise and USS Lexington
