SOLD SCARCE 1941 US NAVY U.S.N.C.P.C MARKED SMITH & WESSON M&P REVOLVER…..38 SPECIAL…..PRE WW2 ISSUE!!!

In 95% condition, we have a very rare extremely desirable Pre-WW2 U.S. Navy Smith & Wesson Military & Police Revolver marked U.S.N.C.P.C. which stands for the US Navy Civilian Police Corps, an organization that never actually came into existence.  These revolvers, (there were 3,000)  were shipped to the United States Naval Yard in Washington DC in early 1941 and were actually issued to Naval Intelligence officers, and into regular Naval Service.  Some have even been reported as having been sent to the RAF. This can almost be considered to be a pre-pre-Victory Model.  Very few of these guns are known to still exist and this is certainly a decent enough example that comes with a Smith Factory Letter as well.  Certainly one of the most desirable Naval Issue handguns of the WW2 era.
