1939 42 code marked UW. BB Poli (S) on left hand side

Burrell, welcome to the forum. Very odd marking, especially being on the left hand side. Normally unit or police markings are on the grip, however, the year of this model precludes police or unit marking, as they had quit marking by this time.

Sounds more like a GI's information, as he must have bought this from the PX and shipped it back...

Can you provide digital pictures of this marking?
