Manufactured in 1940. The frame, barrel, and cylinder are all "crown" over "V" proofed. The frame is also proofed with a "broad arrow" stamp on the top left, and "NOT ENGLISH MADE" (usually associated with civilian arms) on the lower right. Elevation adjustable Patridge blade front and windage adjustable rear notch sights, standard two-line address and patent marking on top of the barrel, caliber notation on the left, and the Rampant Colt on the side plate. Checkered trigger, hammer and back strap. The accompanying factory letter (professionally framed) lists the revolver with a 7 1/2 inch barrel in .38 caliber, blue finish and type of stocks not listed when it was shipped to the British Purchasing Commission at Winchester Repeating Arms, New Haven, CT on July 1, 1940.

Excellent. 98% original blue finish remains with some light surface scratches, and a faint cylinder drag line. The grips are excellent with sharp checkering and light handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
