TL 232 was purchased out of CA, which is where the great niece of a Texas Lawman took her inheritance when she moved from Chambers county. It was shipped as configured (sans patina) Sept. 9th, 1910 to E. K. Tryon Co., Philidelphia, PA. As you can see, I like revolvers with a little history also.

Wow, two great TLs, and one a 1st year w/provenance!
That # 2544 is the first ever N frame I've seen with a USRA 'pocket sight' and only one with a McGivern gold bead. It sure looks like a factory installation. I presume you lettered it to get the ship date. The letter invoice did mention the sight but the letter didn't either?
Also you stated it originally came with non-medallion stocks but it's shown with medallions?
