I picked up this very nice, model 39 no dash a couple of years ago. Sadly, I have no box or papers. I understand that pre-model 39s had a shorter tang and no model number stamp. However, mine has an obviously short tang AND a model number stamp. Can anyone comment? Also... what is the meaning of the small letter stamped on the finger guard where it meets the frame? Mine is stamped "P". My serial is 8545 and it looks to be unfired. I plan to keep it so.
