			You can get a "factory letter" that identifies when the gun was made and to whom it was originally shipped.  If it was a police gun, they certainly bought them directly from the factory.  So that would tell you. 
 
Unfortunately, factory letters aren't available for all models, and you may have to pay $100 for the service whether they find anything or not.  It's worth it for a true collectible, but maybe not just to satisfy a curiousity itch.
