Default Model 34 butt frames

Which style butt frame is most predominant on the Model 34 with the 4 inch barrel, the round butt or square butt? Does one bring a higher premium over the other?

Round butt Model 34s by at least 3 to 1. Even more prevalent on the 2”.

I would pay a little premium for the sq butt because I prefer it, especially if I find a model 1953 New I Frame/Model 34 with sq butt. J frame Model 34-1 sq butts are a little more common.

I would guess round without any data to back that up, except the majority of the J frames of the era were in that style.
