I wonder if the gun of smithrjd is an OMS that has been re-barreled with an OMT barrel? 1950 is REALLY late for an OMT. Perhaps the gun was a parts cleanup, but I have not seen one that late. A picture of the rear and front sights and crane retention screw style would help identify the gun more accurately. A letter with the build and ship dates would be very desirable for this gun, assuming it is indeed a true OMT. Does the gun have plastic service stocks?

Sounds like a real OMT to me! You need to letter that one!

DS326, I use the charts from the back of the "American Heritage" by Wilson. (I made photocopies when the book came out, and I am still using them!) The .32 and .38 Officers Model serials were combined with the Army Special at the beginning. However, since the Army Special became the Official Police in 1927, that means the Officers Model serials are combined with the Official Police until the OMS was created. It stands to reason that any late OMT revolvers would still be in the Official Police serial number charts, NOT the OMS charts. Those charts place the subject OMT in 1950. Apparently, this OMT is a parts cleanup transitional. A letter would really be interesting.
