Here is what Roy says

"We have researched you Smith & Wesson .38/200 British Service model, British Government Contract, caliber .38 Smith & Wesson revolver in company records which indicate that your handgun with serial number 803237, was shipped from our factory on September 24th, 1941 and delivered to the British Purchasing commission, Capetown, South Africa. The records indicate that this pistol was shipped with a 5 inch barrel, blue finish and checkered Walnut grips"

I also have another pre victory that letters to Australia which has no markings other then factory applied as in no Aussie property marks or British proofs. It was shipped May 29th 1941 to the BPC in Sidney Australia. Serial is 773895.

Got 2 6 inchers that letter to the BPC New York City NY as well.

Now all I need is a 4 inch .38/200 they seem to be very scarce.
