If you look at the stamping on Model 39 it appears maybe double stamped. Frame looks to definitely be a 39 there's differences between pre and 39. My only question is that serial number. I guess it is possible as you said.
Good evening
Does anyone else think this doesn't appear to be correct, at the very least the serial number. SN puts it as a Pre 39 but it appears to be a 39. Frame indicates it as a Model 39?
