My #902 "shipped from our factory on July 23, 1908 and delivered to Harry Chase, address unknown".
The fellow I bought it from several years ago thought Harry Chase (the photographer that accompanied Lowell Thomas when he interviewed Lawrence of Arabia for the story that made him famous) might have been the orignal owner of this revolver. That Harry Chase was born in 1883 making him 25 when this revolver was delivered. I have not had any more luck fleshing out that story.
Pics shows correctly numbered rear sight. I have to remove the lanyared ring to shoot it with the Sanderson target grips. The target was shot at 25 yards from a rest (the revolver covers one flyer~~).

This is the only TL sight pic I have. All I have seen (other than King,custom, etc) have one hole to attach to frame and one hole for elevation. Windage has a screw on each side and the blade is thinner than on later guns. As shown in pic, elevation screw fits into dome on bottom of sight and pushes it up or lowers it. Hope this helps.
I type too slow!!LOL Thanks SDH, NICE TL TOO

Here's my 2: a 6.5" original finish, all matching including grips, and a 5" original finish, all matching except grips... both in 44 S&W Special. And, of course, my son has the factory 4" version.
SN 105xx, shipped 11/11/1917 to Schoverling, Daly & Gale, NYC
SM 92xx, shipped on 7/1/1914 to Phillippi-Wishart Co. Memphis. This was a 30th anniversary gift from my wife.

Here's my only TL. It's a little long. 
7.5" Target with fine checkered trigger. It probably shipped with deep dish gold medallion stocks but I have a set of those and a set of early concave non-medallions set aside for it just in case.

Here's mine, shipped in 1912

Threads like these are simply amazing. I sure enjoy looking at and reading about guns like these. With all the turmoil in the world it's nice to kick back and enjoy these classics from another time—all still as functional and as beautiful as if they were built yesterday.
I thought I had a keeper based on looks alone
But as we all know (or should know) looks can deceive
So today I put her through her paces:
I am sure that all here will understand why it is that I have found a new love
(Don't tell my pre-27)

7 1/2 Nickel Triple Lock One of 12 made in 1906 as protypes. this one was given to Dr. I. R. Calkins to test he was one of the top shooters in the east coast. This one also had a extra 44 Russian cly.

See factory letter from Roy Jinks on Triple lock 091 shipped in nickel. I don't know where Don got his information from
But I am going by the factory letter from Roy Jinks. This gun was owned by Ray Cheely for many years and it has been
verified to be orignal as shipped.

.455 converted to .45 Colt. Non-government owned gun that went to England. Except for the cylinder shaving its unmolested and not too bad to be over 100 years old.
The hideous "Wondersight" is now gone.
Oh no. I love the wonder sight.
Charlie
I have just the one left.

My thanks to the OP for the ideia, and to all that have shared their Triple Locks with us.
Considering the chances I have to find one for sale(and that I could afford
) this side of the big pond.
I am gratefull for the eye candy.

I'll bring it to you at the next Greensboro show.
Here's my .455 BSR that has been shaved for .45 Colt.
This gun was owned by the Navy doctor and aquanaut who invented the saturated air mixture diving charts for deep submergence dives. I got it from his brother who was liquidating his estate.
