I would just like to know how they did it. I bought this gun as it was, according to the letter, purchased?, by the Boston PD and marked as such after WW2. My interest lies in the fact that I lived there after WW2. My Dad was a returning Marine to the Boston Navy Yard. I was about 4 years old. Thanks, Big Larry
