This is one of my many Target models. This one is a 32-44 shipped December 1902 (thanks to Roy for ship date). This one is 320xx serial number range.
This is one of the NM3s I had ranted about a few months back. It's one of 3 guns that I put away "like new" about 10-20 years ago and pulled it out to find a fine powdery iron oxide inside the lining of zipper case and over the nickel. Thankfully, it was just powder. I never experienced anything like that in my life. Now I store them out of the zipper cases.
This is after a clean up with Pre-Lim, then a quick once-over with Flitz.
Don't you just love seeing the old case colors jump out at you ?
When they're silvery toned on trigger guard ... that's a good thing.
