A little past restoration consideration. :D Just thought some might like to see the effects of less than optimum storage- dug up in the woods actually. Holster, belt and a full cylinder of round nose found with it.

Many thanks to all who looked. I have more information than I started with , plus a set of apparently nice but mysterious stocks.

Picked these up recently. Fit a pre war n frame very well, an n frame that more recent (1980's) target stocks won't. Wrap around the front strap area checkering, prominent palm swell for a right hander on the right panel. The internal washer appears epoxied in place. Any thoughts on the era or...

I wondered about that-if the design was an early nod towards officer safety. I'm guessing the dummy snap confused an attempted snatch- do tell.

That is first time I have seen the integral strap model as shown in the ad. Apparently three separate iterations, and I only knew of the two I posted. The outboard snaps model I would call a rivet model, because it easily pivots but doesn't unsnap- at least not with the tugging I have done on...

Second ever post here. I have learned a huge amount from the members of this forum and thought this was an interesting comparison opportunity. Maybe a serious student of gun leather will want to comment on the two generations of Bucheimer pictured, both B450's.
