Default 1905 Target W/5" barrel

This is my only contribution. I have posted this gun before. According to Mr. Jinks, this one left the factory July 1906. It is an early 4 screw, square butt frame, target with a 5" barrel. I am told this is a relatively rare piece. While not a 95%+ condition gun, it is in very good shape for 109 years old and obviously being used. It still shoots very well using 148 gr wadcutters and 2.5 gr of bullseye.
The gun was wearing an incorrect set of convex grips when I bought it. It took 8 months of searching to come up with the nicely refinished set of period correct concave grips.
