I have a Smith and Wesson Victory Model that letters to the United States Martime Commission in San Francisco in 1944. The gun is marked with what appear to be the proper Boston Police Property Marks. The letter acknowledges that Boston may have received it at that time. However to my mind it could also be some other department who used the markings B.P.D. and a number and letter. Boston always used one of 3 markings on Colts B-P-D, on Smiths until the 70's B.P.D. and since BPD and they used a number or a number and a letter. This Victory has "B.P.D. 296V"
The question I have is I have heard that with the DSC you can get archive records of where their guns were shipped, is that the case with the USMC?
I have posted this elsewhere, I am trying to find info and it is a relatively obsure question to me.
