Leon,
I worded some of my post poorly. I am aware that this pistol was made well in advance of the SS. I was simply pointing out that some things may never be verifiable but real none the less. Like I said, when the Gov't...any Gov't agency has to procure material through unconventional means, it stands to reason that lots of variables will exisit. Markings and acceptance stamps included. I am not ready to jump too quickly to assumptions of authenticity as quick decisions can be short sighted.
John
