Frank,

The consensus from an earlier thread on this gun is that it was manufactured in about 1927, originally as a commercial model and barreled or rebarreled for the police. The parts are stamped in the military manner (exposed). The toggle pin and trigger are also stamped but with different numbers, so the originals must have been been swapped around a campfire at some point. Oh, well!!!!

Don
