The Incredible Shrinking 1917!!! (also in nickel!)
At least, that's what it looks like to me. From top to bottom:
Model 1937 .45 ACP (Brazilian 1917) (my very first S&W, bought in 1986!)
Model 38/200 .38 S&W (acquired through the Classifieds here)
Regulation Police .32 S&W Long
Ladysmith 3rd Model .22 Long (also acquired through the Classifieds - thanks Coug45!)
*Edited 2-1-2010*
I decided to add on a pic I had posted in another thread. It doesn't have the intermediate steps as above, but is charming nonetheless. It's a shortened and renickeled Triple Lock alongside a renickeled Ladysmith. The Triple Lock has writing on the inside of the grip indicating it was owned by an Oklahoma lawman. The mother-of-pearl on each appears genuine, although not factory.
I think of it as, "The Lawman and The Lady."

I love those Diamond Stocks on the LadySmith. I wonder what year they were first available for the Third Model Perfected.

Tom, that is a great image.
What, you couldn't dig up a Ladysmith or RP with a lanyard loop? Look a little harder! 
Nice group, nice graphic.

Great little family of guns there.
And in the interest of accuracy, I don't believe that is a humpback hammer on the second from the top?

Nope, that's not a humpback hammer. It has the same normal profile as the others.
BTW, I edited my original post and added another picture.
