Mike, good catch. I didn't notice the fifth screw. I called it a 1902 based partly on the last patent date reported. Now that I look it up, I see that the 1905 (as most collectors refer to it ) has the final 1901 patent date as well, with a later date not occurring until the 1905/First Change. It also would have helped if I had troubled to look up the serial number.

So I thank you again for the education and agree: That's a pure Model of 1905, or 1905 "no-change" -- a much less common gun than the 1902/First Change that I erroneously called it.
