This is allready in process, the dealer who took possesion of the pistol has filed his paperwork,i have been in contact with another trooper who is working on that end,as well as the historical society, The request to mr. Jinks shall go out tomorrow as well, "C" form information is not that easy to aquire as you can imagine.

IIRC, MY ROUTINE REQUESTS TO MR. JINX TOOK WEEKS TO RETURN.....

HOPEFULLY, SOMEONE WITH SOME CRANK AT THAT LEVEL--PERHAPS OUR ADMIN--CAN HURRY THE RESPONSE ALONG......

AS AN OL' SOLDIER WITH NO DOG IN THE FIGHT--OTHER THAN TO SUPPORT Kharmakid--I MUST DISPLAY A VIRTUE THAT I DON'T POSSESS IN GREAT ABUNDANCE......

THAT IS PATIENCE ! ! !

Front frame rails left and right side .094
Frame rails at the end of engraving .094
Height of frame at front .617
Serial number height .125
Machine marks consistent on both sides of frame
No indication of refinish
Markings on frame, p on front of left trigger guard, number 7 located on left lower frame upper right of lower grip screw estucheon. Ive filled out my paper work for mr jinks and enclosed photos of this pistol to him,,now we shall wait for the results, ive posted a final photo of the dissasembled pistol in my album,,thanks to all,,,regards, chris

THIS IS MARVELOUS NEWS---GREAT PROVENANCE ! ! !
 
ITS SOMEWHAT SAD THAT AFTER ALL OF MY POSTS, I STILL NEED TO EXPLAIN TO PEOPLE WHY I POST IN CAPS.....

NO, I AM NOT SHOUTING, AND NO, I AM NOT ANGRY---AS IF YOU PEOPLE CAN HEAR WITH YOUR EYEBALLS ! ! ! CAN YOU READ WITH YOUR EARS AS WELL ? ? ?

WELL THE SIMPLE TRUTH IS THAT I AM A 100% DISABLED VIETNAM VETERAN, THAT IS BLIND IN ONE EYE (HENCE MY USER NAME), AND I HAVE A CATARACT AND GLAUCOMA IN MY "GOOD" EYE. I TYPE IN CAPS BECAUSE ITS MUCH EASIER FOR ME TO SEE WHAT I'M TYPING...

TO ANYONE WHO IS OFFENDED BY MY POSTS IN CAPS, OR CLAIM THAT THEY HURT THEIR EYES--- FEEL FREE TO SCROLL ON BY THEM. I CERTAINLY WILL NOT MIND, NOR WILL I MISS YOU.....

REMEMBER THAT AMERICA IS THE LAND OF THE FREE, BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE ! ! !

Just curious, how do you read the replies? Or even the complaints? Do we need to post in caps also to make it easier for you?

WELL IN RESEARCHING THE THREAD, I FOUND THAT THE CRITICISM OF MY TYPING IN CAPS, CAME FROM A NEWBIE NAMED 1straykat. THIS WAS HIS 2ND POST---SO I MUST CUT HIM SOME SLACK.....

MOST ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN AROUND THIS FORUM FOR A MINUTE, JUST ACCEPTS ME HOW I AM---AND I APPRECIATE IT....

This is all very interesting. Can't wait to see what is in your letter. I worked very closely with the NYSP as a Member of another NYS law enforcement agency. NYS has 5 (05) uniform police depts, with the Division of State Police being the largest. As I said earlier the original owner had to be a Officer with a shield number that low. When Troopers retire they are provided with a Superindent's Pistol License. I do not know if the Troopers need a C Form to buy a gun. Its probably changed since I retired and moved out of state. It was not necessary back then, 8 yrs ago. All other agencies require a C Form, which is why most of us had a regular Pistol License. C Form means the Agency technically owns the weapon and seize it at will. I have no doubt they were able to obtain aM39 with that serial number from S&W with minimal problems. Forget the judge part having anything to do with it. That would have been post retirement.

Lt7d103, i believe you are correct and im in error, i can remember walking into gun shops and making a purchase with the use of my shield, then using a c form at agency to register with nysp. Afyer the purchase i would then get it on my permit. That was 18 years ago, im not exzactly sure how the NYSP did theres. Im not sure exzactly when the State started the Supers license, this Trooper served 1953-1973 so its a good point,thanks for your clarification, now im gonna have to reaearch cpl 400.00 to upgrade my knowledge
Regards,
Chris
