Not quite accurate. The two pages below are from the D-3 catalog. The full name, as
shown on these pages, is "Military and Police Round Butt", and "Military and Police Square
Butt" . The factory is differentiating between the two models. As late as 1915, they
were still using Model of 1902 and Model of 1905. By the 1902's, perhaps they
wanted to be a bit more up-to-date, so they changed the nomenclature. What they
did not change, was the notion that they are two different models.



If one looks closely, they will see that there are siginificant differences between the two models.
Check out the overall lengths of the guns, and their weights. They are different. Also, the round
butt model is no longer being offered with adjustable sights.

Two different models.
