Thanks a ton! How good of shape does this gun seem for its age to you guys.

I am going to call my dad tonight and let him know what I have found out about the gun. It will be fun to tell him that it was manufactured early on in 1902, that it was sent back in to S&W in 6.49, and that the grips are even original. What would a gun like this be worth? Don’t get me wrong it will never be for sale god willing but would be fun to tell my dad it could be worth as much as X amount of $$.

How much should I expect to pay for the grip side? Is there a place to put a WTB on this forum?

So what type of frame is this gun?

Is it a first change or a second change with not having the barrel sholder?
