OK Gary
I’ve been pulling stocks on guns from around the turn of the century. (I didn’t find as many as I thought I had, but here they are:
1st Model Single Shot #19056 no mark
.44 DA Frontier #11808 Scratched matching (Shipped 12/1900)
.38 DA 2nd Model #29300 Scratched matching
.32 DA 2nd Model #20047 No Mark
.32 Safety 2nd Model #116020 Scratched matching (These weren’t produced till 1902, so there goes the 1900 and earlier theory…)

I also have a set of Hard Rubber stocks that fit a K Frame that are scratched with #16729. This is about ¾ of the way through the serials from production of the 1st Model Hand Ejector. (I tried them on the 44 DA and the locating pin is in the wrong place. They fit fine on a M1902 HE. What do you think? Pre or Post 1900??
