My receiver proof marks are #31, so it's a reworked police or military. Serial is 40xx h. Barrel is numbered to match, but has a lower case L under the number. There's also 882 under that, up against the receiver. In looking closer at the sideplate, it's apparent that the grinding/buffing was an ill-fated attempt to rescue a severely pitted sideplate. Oh, well, maybe I'll get lucky and find one with matching numbers - out of every 100 made, one would match.
