They were all given out in 1906. The numbers were 088-099. I have included a picture of my Triple Lock, it is 088. The first one in the group of 12.

Don,
It's very interesting to me that your TL #088 is a five screw delivered in 1906. While TL regular production began with four screws (no trigger guard screw), one specifically is #2.
