Howard,

I know what you mean about regreting selling your S&W. The only consolation that I have found is that you can't keep everything. At least, that is what I keep telling myself.

Ryan,

I am not certain what your "W.C." markings might indicate. I have seen various markings in this spot on the Steyr-Hahn. What is the date of manufacture of yours and is it a WWII re-issue? It appears there are other markings under these W.C. stamps. Your pistol does not appear to be a military pistol since it has the eagle/N proof mark. Does it have the eagle/L proof on the right side of the frame or the 08 stamp on the left slide?
