Since yours has no letter suffik it was a pretty early run of the second type. ![]() Yours is the second type with the S/ code dropped later in the year. The system could not be changed for a while, of course, and thus many early produced weapons still had th S/ as part of the manufacturer's code in the early months of '38.
