Per the SCSW, it is 45768. There are several threads here about REG 1, given to J. Edgar Hoover but whereabouts now unknown, but the book doesn't state this is 45768.

If you mean the gun you won, the serial is 616xx, according to the seller.

x2 on the photos 
I was watching that one....I am wondering if it is a Registered or Non-Registered variety....I am close to that dealer and almost went over to have a personal look-see....I'm curious to see what she is all about.

After doing a little research, the gun you won is probably from 1940 and more than likely a Non-Registered Magnum of which there is actually fewer of.

And if the nickle is factory, even rarer.

Sorry I have been busy and away from my computer. As you know the serial is 616xx, there are no other marks on it to indicate a RM. So I assume it to be a non-registered or a transitional model.
