    No it doesn't have the 'US Property" mark on the top strap or GHD inspection stamp you would expect to see on a Lend Lease gun. The "Made in USAicon" stamped on the right side of the frame is post-1922. It has the large S&W logo on the right places between 1936 and the beginning of the war. .38 S&W was a standard chambering but surpassed in popularity in the .38 Special in the US by then. Leads me to suspect it was a private purchase.
