You have a Military & Police Target. Prior to the 1921 era as no "Made in USA" on the right side of the frame.

And welcome to the forum. That looks like a very nice M&P Target!

Probably from around 1920. Does it have a serial number?

There was a time after WWI when the monogram was missing. This gun likely falls into that range. The serial number would confirm this.

Many S&W's built and or shipped in 1919 and 1920 do not have a S&W logo.

I think for us, this would meet the criteria for "a good problem"!

That would put it as probably shipping in mid-1919. That's why there are no S&W logos. S&W dropped stamping logos during WWI and didn't resume until sometime in 1920.

This gun has a seldom-seen (but not rare) variant of the rear sight assembly. The sight leaf (or spring) is sprung upwards. The screw in the rear pulls the rear sight leaf down, for the elevation adjustment. On all the other variants, the sight leaf is sprung down, and the adjustment screws push it up.

Thanks Mike! I always learn something when reading your posts. So seldom seen, I didn't even know that variation existed.

I agree about Mike's post. I passed one up not long ago because the sight looked like this, and I thought it was aftermarket.
