What do the following letters / numbers......06XA2, LGGGR, BO, SF, SI, FS, CS and ZS....under "Features" on the label of a S&W revolver box mean?

I'm having a brain-fart and can't make heads or tails. [:(!]

  Can anyone tell me what is meant when someone describes a S&W revolver as having a "recessed" cylinder? BT

  You have a .38 Military & Police Victory model (1942-1945). "GHD" is the inspector's stamp.
  Ref: Standard Catalog of S&W, pg 94.

  That's right, what was that inspector's name? I saw a post on that last week, someone had a break-top S&W if I remember correctly. Looks like a question for Christian or Kirk.
