It might also be a frame from an earlier year with an s prefix. Why would it matter if the frame is 1937? I mean it is already a mismatched P.08 and thus not a collector-grade specimen, so one frame serial number is as good as another IMHO.

Thanks Bob! Trying to learn as much as I can about this gun. I know it is not "collector grade" but I am sure it has some history. I just don't know how much could be identified with what little I have to go on. Is it unusual to see a frame with no acceptance marks? The only acceptance proofs that I can recall seeing were on the receiver.
