Originally chambered in 9MM Browning Long (9x20) most of these guns were rechambered (with a barrel insert) to .380 when they were imported into...
Upon further review - the barrel is dated "40" and the only other mark (that I missed) is the letter "I" inside a triangle near the barrel on the receiver.
