to the 1902 - the rebound-slide lockwork - would make it a 1902
3rd change. In this context, there are always two more engineeering
changes for the 1902's than for the 1905's .

This, presumably, is why the Collectors decided to call both round
and square butt frames - 1905's !

Confused, Roy Jinks (History of S&W) list Ser. #'s 62,450-73,250 as 'Mod. of 1905', Round and Square Butt! ?????
