BreakyP: The USAF did indeed purchase small numbers of the Model 39 pistol during the 1960s. They are very scarce guns. None that I have observed, including the example I own which letters as having been shipped to Warner Robins AFB in 1969, bear any US or other factory applied military markings. They are completely indistinguishable from the civilian Model 39s produced at the same time. I am operating from memory since I am not in a position to check my source materials right now, but as I recall there were at least 100 or so Model 39-2s which shipped to the US Navy.
Your left hand holster is indeed USGI but was designed for service with the Beretta M9 pistol, not the S&W Model 39. If you will post here or email me the complete serial number on your pistol I may be able to give you more information. Pnach Files For Pcsx2 Download Windows.

Breakyp: Thanks for providing the complete serial. I have some further checking to do but for now I can report that your pistol was shipped from the S&W factory no earlier than 1971, when the first Model 39-2s went into production. In checking with some other long time S&W collectors none have, so far, reported observing a US marked 39-2 before. Of course, that may mean nothing if your pistol was part of a small order of US marked guns that has gone undetected to collectors for the past 40 years. On the other hand, one would think that such a gun would have likely come to the attention of S&W martial pistol collectors before now if it was indeed a legit US gun. As I said, I have some further checking to do and hope to have more for you in a few days.
I hope this information is helpful to you. Regards, Charlie Flick S&WCA #729 Colt Collectors Assoc. I've got a couple of questions about this pistol that I hope are still on topic(don't want to hi-jack the thread).
On the Marcas Registradas, which I know is Spanish for brand registered(literal translation) or what we would more probably call registered trademark, why would a US made gun, made for the US military have Spanish writing on it? I'm just curious about it as it caught my eye. BTW OP, nice looking pistol. Another question is about when these would have been issued and to who.
My dad was an AF pilot who was killed in the VN war in '65. Is this pistol one that he would have been issued or would he have had something else? Breakyp: Thanks for providing the complete serial. I have some further checking to do but for now I can report that your pistol was shipped from the S&W factory no earlier than 1971, when the first Model 39-2s went into production.
