Here is a 1870 or 1871 american. Was found in a old barn being tore down in montanna where there used to be a stagecoach stop. Sure wish I knew who hid it there and cut the barrel back!

This M&P 1905, First change is my oldest gun. The quality of parts fitting and wood to frame fit is the best of all my guns. I'm guessing it's around l907-08.

This is my oldest, don't know when it was made other than the range of production dates.

Those sure are some sweet looking revolvers you guys have! Thanks for sharing photos.

The latest information on you 45848, as posted in the S&WCA files, is that
it had magnas, but was shipped with small stocks with grip adapters.

Did you replace the magnas with those stocks ? What about the adapters ?

Later, Mike Priwer
