Cross posted to the S&W Revolver pic thread:
I just received my S&W factory letters. 1. 1st Change M&P .38 Spl 119,xxx. Right on the tail end of that run.   2. 3rd Change M&P .38 Spl 198,xxx. Interesting that this says it was sent on to Birmingham England, but it does not have any UK proofs or an import mark    3. Victory Model M&P .38 Spl. V128,xxx U.S. Navy marked. Sent to the US Navy, Oakland CA on Oct 19, 1942.     |

Just print out the form and mail it in with as much information as you have on the gun in question and the fee. It took a few months, but the letters will arrive. |

Another M1905 3rd Change M&P Hand Ejector came my way. This one is a 4-inch .38 Special and in the 231,xxx range, so I estimate it roughly a 1914 to 1915 production example, but I won't know until I get my SWHF factory letter on it. Grips are original and still have the hand-written in pencil serial number on the underside of the grip panel.
  You could barely get the cylinder to swing open when I first got it, but after removing the crane arm, I found the hole was filled with congealed oil or cosmoline. It works smoothly now after cleaning. The action is magnificent on this, like all of the other early Smiths I have handled. |

Not quite Skeeter's load but it's had a steady diet of Power Pistol pushing a 240gr swc at 900fps. Close to 900rds through it with no ill effects
