Frame Identification Help

Considering that the frame appears to be strawed I think it could be a 1937 first variant frame, but that's not an absolute assessment.

I can only say that S/N 2166s falls within 1937 production. And... it does not have the hump on the frame which I think is correct for early 1937 production.

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.
