No H-D's seem to match the serial number you have...

There was a production run of the suppressed HD done after WWII:

I've read that they were in 500,000 serial number range; that would be around 1954-1955 (http://www.histandard.info/datapublic/serial/pserialno.html).

If it was a real, original military (CIA apparently in this case) silenced pistol, legally registered, it would be worth quite a lot of money.

It belonged to my dad,he retired from the military in 1970,and went back to work with the cia,i found it in his safe,after he pasted on.

You better hope it's registered with the BATF...
