I agree! That is a great idea. I think I have another 1917 left grip panel with a yellow rack number in my parts drawer. I dig it out.

That's what fascinates me about this revolver. We know they were re-issued, mostly stateside, during WW2. We know they were issued to Military Police and unspecified "Security Forces". IIRC, there were something like 130,000 Civil Defense Auxiliary Police during WW II, and they had to be issued some kind of handgun. It is a logical assumption that this may have been issued to Auxiliary Police, since they were essentially Security Forces to help the Police protect ports, airports, defense plants, and critical infrastructure during wartime.
