As stated in the Standard catalog page 164.
" Believed that fewer than 1000 commercial versions were made in a serial number range of S209792-S210782 with an S serial prefix to indicate the new postwar hammer block and continued within the 1917 serial nunber range."
"These guns are sometimes encountered without the 'S' serial number prefix. These commercial versions had the S&W trademark on the sideplate and may or may not have a lanyard ring."

Produced c. 1946-1950.

Thank you to Lee Jarrett for telling me to "Hang up the phone and buy the gun"
And Haris for his continued support.

Yes, I found one. And managed by the skin of my teeth to make the deal.
Here are the pictures.

Edited here to add; the right grip panel has '68966' stamped in it with the 68 over the 966, like we expect to see ser.#s in grips.
Below that, the 210747 serial is also stamped.
I wonder where S68966 is and whether it is wearing target stocks now??






































I will request a letter on this one. Just wondering who F.L.Oglesby U.S.M.C. is. Maybe one of you search savvy guys may find a line on him.

Good luck to you all with YOUR hand ejector dreams.

Regards
Allen Frame
