Good evening everyone! I went to a LGS today, well sort of, it's about 100 miles away, but in Montana that still counts as local. Anyway, while there I found two new revolvers that followed me home. The first is a 32-20 target 1905 3rd model. I have been looking for one for a while, so was pleased to snag it. The second is very interesting...a commercial 1917 target!!! I have only read about them in the Supica/Navas 4th edition. Page 193 speaks to the very rare nature of these, so much so that the authors desire more information if available. Anyway, I took a chance as felt the price was very good. Once home I took it apart to clean it and I removed the rear sight, which underneath was serial numbered to the gun. Definitely a factory target in my mind but only a letter will tell for sure. I certainly wish the letter moratorium wasn't in place because I'd love a letter on this piece. These came out of a collection of a long-time Montana S&W collector who sadly passed earlier this year. I will try to post pictures soon...I'm old school and definitely tech challenged. Anyone else out there have one of these? I'd love to know more. I'm tickled I found it...maybe a unicorn

finding both revolvers in the same shop at the same time would be heart stopping. They are just beautiful. I am more than a little jealous.
