Well, here's another. M&P (1905/Fourth) with a five inch barrel from the mid-1920s. S/N 544932 (mistakenly recorded on the bottom of the box as 554932). About 95% finish, with most wear on backstrap, a little at the muzzle, and some minor scratches and tiny dings here and there.
Haven't shot it yet, but will. Bore and chambers shiny and unpitted, action tight. There's a catch in the DA pull that I need to address.
Probably 1926 from the serial number; I wouldn't try to predict which month, given the company's practice of shipping out of numerical order.
