What I see in the mod 34 stamping has a period after the MOD instead of the dash as seen in the mod 51 stamping. I don't remember seeing a period before. I wonder if it was a mod 51 and was converted to a model 34. The mod 34 stamping looks factory, but.............
I bet if you post this at the smithandwessonforum.com someone there would have the answer.
Not so common but it did happen, as did actual mistakes in stamping info there. Just a frame that was initially meant to be a 51, and then sent on to to built as a 34-the model in greater demand. Smith didn't let anything go to waste.
A value detractor in my opinion.
