The included factory letter confirms the barrel length, caliber, and finish (stocks "Not Listed") when it shipped to the Depot Quartermaster at the U.S. Marine Corps Warehouse in Philadelphia, PA on December 24, 1947.This rare pistol is made more rare by the fact that it lacks any U.S.M.C. markings, unlike most other guns shipped to them.

Excellent overall, retaining 98% plus professionally restored factory quality blue, minor handling evidence, a few small nicks below the muzzle, and sharp grip checkering. A non-factory added trigger stop screw is visible on the bottom of the trigger guard. Mechanically excellent.
