Great info. Thanks for looking that up! Will have to keep a record of this with the pistol.

I have seen other model 1905s from the same time period with these types of stocks. Does anyone know if S&W ever offered aftermarket stocks like these? Or what company they may be from?

I don't know much about him other than what was previously stated. Looking into more history soon. I plan on doing a small write up and keeping it with the pistol.

More in the holster.

Here's pics.

Wow great info! thanks for the help. Exactly the info I was looking for.:D

Does anyone have any pictures for reference of the barrel shaped extractor rod of a 1930s hand ejector? Or any other years extractor rod to compare?

Any advice on how to polish this? Only 1 small spot the size of a bb that looks like beginning stages of rust, other than that just normal holster wear. Is 0000 steel wool OK to use with CLP? Any polish recommendations? Polish Method recommendations? Thanks!

ok great thanks for the help. The grips are not original but they are from the 30s stag grips and was used as a service weapon for a sheriff in Alabama. Original holster still with it was also from the 30s. :D
