The 1926 44 Target revolver posted is very rare and desirable. However, the target stocks are not original to the gun (even if they are numbered to it) unless the gun was shipped in the 1950s. Target stocks did not exist in the 40s and the type on the revolver are not the early type seen in 52/53. The stocks most likely date to 54-56 and are made of Goncalo alves.

I owned a gun like yours for several years that was NIB. It has serial number S71099 and was shipped on November 7, 1947. It was fitted with Magna stocks numbered to the revolver. The S&W monograms in the 40s are slightly different that those seen in 1950 and later.
