This may be one of the scarcest 2nd Gen guns there is. It has the prewar barrel marking on the right side of the barrel and comes with letters of provenance from Kopec and a factory letter as well. There are also many other pieces of valuable literature pertaining to this gun. It is one of seven others known with this marking and is attributed to a prewar barrel installation but during the 2nd generation assembly period, the barrel itself very scarce as there are only 25 38 SPL prewar guns listed as having been assembled. Gun exhibits slight handling indicators and a slight turning of the cylinder. There is also very minor discoloration on the hammer. It does NOT appear to have been fired and is in 98%+ condition throughout. Additional pictures will be furnished upon request but were not included because there is really nothing else to be seen. This fully documented and 100% accurately described item will NOT carry an inspection period and will require an email attesting to the buyer's understanding of that. This has been cleared through GI. I welcome phone calls in this regard. $50 S&H&I C&R OK
