Ron: You might want to order the research letter to see what the surviving factory records indicate. As Dean pointed out, the gun started life as a Grade 2 (G) and along the way had a major face-lift.
If you have the right tools and skills, you could remove the trigger guard screw, lift the tang and rotate counter-clockwise approx 1/8 turn and see if a serial number is under there and if it matches or not. I suspect not, but never say never.
The price of the letter may be worth satisfying "some" of your curiosity. There will likely still be more questions.
Cheers,
Jack
