Pistol 204
I keep telling myself I'm NOT going to do pistols - and then something like this one comes along.  Revolver No. 2 Mk I**  Enfield 1944 in 38 S&W. Marked to the Hong Kong Police on the backstrap. Typical holster wear, less than average. 5" barrel. Bore 90%. Wooden grips are very good with a couple of minor chips at the bottom on one side. Although it would be nice to think that this piece saw service against the Japanese, as the Hong Kong garrison surrendered on Christmas Day, 1941 and the pistol was not manufactured until 1944, this piece probably did not make it to the Crown Colony until after the war's end.
