Dave, if you did add one to many x's, your gun was made in 1946, if not it was made in 1948.
Like James said, beautiful wood and still has some case.
Does yours have the precious metal (gold) bar inlaid at the junction of the rib and the rib extension?
Also the wood is to good to be true.
Good luck with it and you should go to http://www.lcsmith.org. and find out more.
