Model Number Picture Thread- numeric order please! (I’ll bet we can come close)

[s&wchad]

This may be fun, or it may flop like a sack of potatoes!

Let's see if we can put together a thread with a photo of one of each Model numbered revolver (not each revision or variation) in somewhat numerical order. Some of the guns (Models 11, 20, 21, 22, 23, 56, etc…) are pretty rare and we may have to skip over them, but please be patient. Some of the members here have some rare and wonderful guns and this has the potential to be a useful thread!

I'll start:

 

[s&wchad]

Model 10

Model 10-5 2".

Good luck with Model 11!

One-line non-interruption: Nice start w/your M10 2"!

 

[ImprovedModel56Fan]

Almost half an hour and no Model 11? Well, here's a 12, 2" like the first post. Toroflow1's photograph, but my revolver.

Here's a Model 11-4 that was for sale on the web back in May 06. Here is what was said in the ad.
Stonecove
"Smith & Wesson Model 11-4, yes that is right... Model 11-4! This is one of the dozen or so Model 11-4's that S&W released from the factory in 1996. This revolver was manufactured in 1962 and sat in inventory until 1996. This revolver is NIB and is marked "SAP" on the backstrap which stands for South African Police. This revolver is chambered for 38 S&W. It has a 4 screw frame and beautiful blue finish."

Are pre-numbered models okay?

This may be fun, or it may flop like a sack of potatoes!

Let's see if we can put together a thread with a photo of one of each Model numbered revolver (not each revision or variation) in somewhat numerical order.

Do they need to actually be numbered, or is a pre-number model okay? Like the Model 26/1950 .45 target. If we can do that, I personally have a representative sample of each model from 10 through 29 (although I don't have pictures of all of them.)

Either way, this looks like a fun thread!

The Model 16 was the K-32 Masterpiece. Not a great number were made. At the risk of breaking the chain, until one comes along, and to keep the ball rolling, here's the 17 and the 18:

From the OP

Some awesome guns posted so far! Back to the program - anyone have a Model 23 or 24? ... and we still need a Model 16-something!

 

[Doc44]

I will help out with a rare one. 1950 45 Target, 4-screw, stamped MOD-26 in the yoke cut and shipped in 1961.

Aside from the 16, and I know they are out there, we are missing a 20. I could post a butchered 520, but that's not really the same thing.

16, 20, 23, 24 . . .

 

[PALADIN85020]

Sth44:

You do know that George Nonte was a prolific gun writer during the '60s, don't you? In addition to articles, he wrote a number of books. His last rank was major in the U.S. Army.

 

[PALADIN85020]

Here's a model 24-3, 6.5":

And a model 24-3, 4"

 

[PALADIN85020]

Some model 25s on the right, all in .45 Colt:

The two on the left are Mountain guns, a 625 and a 25, also in .45 Colt.

 

[s&wchad]

Onward and upward!

Were still missing Models 16, 20 and 23, but we're amazingly good thru Doc44's Model 26. If anyone has one of those, please post it at any time. Otherwise, lets try to keep them in numerical order (or at least close). Thank you all for the great pics so far!
