The posts above don't seem to make a direct statement as to the vintage of the OPs guns, but all the references to Model 1899s seem a bit confusing..........

The issue is the 8" barrel, not the model of the guns. I stated that the revolver was a Model 1905 that shipped in 1908, plus dated the other two in my picture of the three. There were only 3 or 4 other 8" M&Ps ever reported and those were Model 1899s. In reality, there is only 6 to 10 years between my 1908 and the Model 1899s that ran until 1902.
