I finally located the references to smokeless powder in the S&W catalogs. First attachment is from a 1900 catalog, basically stating that the company would not warranty their revolvers with the use of smokeless powder, but by 1903, they they still did not warranty the use of smokeless, but extolled the virtues of manufactured ammo.
