The letter is incorrect, based on the following: (From Neal and Jinks) September 5, 1935-Order to adjust stocking fixtures to manufacture Magna stocks with metal stock circle insert for .357 Magnum revolvers per H. Wesson; February 5, 1936-Order to make all model 44 Hand Ejectors, 45 Hand Ejectors and .38/44 Hand Ejectors with Magna stocks; April 1, 1936-Order to make Magna style stocks for all Model K revolvers furnished on customers' orders per H. Wesson.
Your .38/44 Outdoorman's Revolver would have shipped with standard stocks which were standard on this model at the time it was made. In addition, the invoice does not specify the type of stocks, only a .38/44 Outdoorman's Revolver (Target) with a 6 1/2-inch barrel, and blue finish. Most invoices only specify the type of stocks if there is an extra charge for them.
