Question about one of my toys. This .357 was given to me around 1997. It came from a man that was like a father to me and he was retired from the CIA. The story I was told was that it was an original police issue still with the original wood grips.
My question is with the 3rd image. There's a "007" dot matrix print on it. Would that be from the police department numbering their own firearms outside of the serial number? That's what I was told but haven't really tried to confirm.
I've had other people tell me that the serial number stamp wasn't done during manufacturing but was added afterwards. How do you really know?
Appreciate any info on this.........
