I think that 36 above your post has you beat.
Yeah, I had the same thought, but in my defense, 1) it went up just before I posted, so I hadn't seen that one yet, and 2) it ain't an M&P!

Great idea for a thread topic! Here ya' go Goony. It's pretty ugly. A 1904 5-inch nickel gun. Strangely enough, it has a nice bore an perfect mechanics.
Shoots decent 5-shot groups at 10 yards.
Handled +P factory loads too on a deliberate test.

The 36 I posted is for sale on one of the auction sites for $230 about 40 miles NE of me.

I think this gun is gorgous. I'd climb over all the polymer guns in a gunshop to get a close look at this one.This is the ugliest M&P I've ever seen, but it's the one gun I'd never part with. This Model 1902 belonged to my paternal grandfather, and it's obviously seen hard service. Not a thing of beauty, but precious to me.

The rare "Humpback" revolver S&W produced. I think only a few were made, I meant modified, outside of the factory of course.
I forgot to add - How much for the stocks? Sorry, I couldn't resist!

Put that baby in a hydraulic press and square up the frame, replace the cylinder, and you're good to go with mild .38 Spl. loads.

Yup, a real testament to the craftsmanship in these old guns. Heck, even the blown up one just needs some TLC and a couple parts.

I used to have this Victory Model. It was a bit of a project gun.
Few parts, little polishing... Eh.
I've got a worn one from circa 1949 sitting in the closet, but I don't have pics of it. I'm going to have it reblued. It isn't worth terribly much as is, but is mechanically fine. I have no idea the going rate for such things, ran me about 300. I missed having a K frame.

I don't know...I think the "Ugly Gun" still has to FUNCTIION as a gun or it doesn't count. Just my opinion.

They were known as Wondersights, it fit right in where the fifth screw was and allowed you to turn your fixed sight revolver into an adjustable sighted gun.

That thing looks like it was laying under a Saturn V rocket when it took off!
Hey, at least it still has a couple of good useable parts!
WHERE?????
