38 Military & Police Model of 1905 - 4th Change ?

[ejjeff]

According to my Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson 3rd Edition I think this is what I acquired. SN 406818. SN 241704 - 100000 mfg 1915 - 1942. Would any of the many learned members here be able to narrow it down without me sending for a letter? I would appreciate it. Terrible with pictures but will try when it's cleaned up a bit.

Thank you
Jeff

Very nice from what I can see.
The mushroom shape ejector was used until 1928-29
Your wood stocks are correct for the 1920s decade. the right stock may be marked with the serial number. In pencil
S&Ws shipping date? I don't know.
But I use a simple equation for My Guess.

I think 1925

Based on other M&P's with nearby serials, April/May 1922. Is it missing the one line "Made in USA" stamp which was introduced in May 1922?

BTW, Jeff, if you join the S&WCA for $60 the first year, $50 per year afterward, you can ask the Historian for a MM/YY ship date for free for all your S&W guns. No need for a letter.

It has the one line. Thank you
