Pretty darn nice shape for one that was carried that much!

The early postwar Magna stocks are a nice upgrade, too. Do you think your dad put those on it, along with the grip adaptor? What name is on the grip adaptor?

first sold in 1908
Here is my grandfather's M&P target model, showing a lot more wear. It shipped on April 6, 1908. Stocks are the numbered originals.

1908 is a long time ago and it appears that after servicing your grandfather and then you dad for decades, it got a refinish and new set of post-WWII Magna stocks. S&Ws of that era had a high polish blue finish and it appears that your revolver saw no use or abuse after refinish. Stocks in 1908 would have been round-top walnut with a concave (dished) top round. I also see a blued mushroom knob, which was case hardened finish when that gun was made. Your job is to maintain the heirloom, generate documentation for future generations to appreciate its history.
 
walternash,what a great revolver to have. Im sure you cherish it.If it could only talk,but Im sure it already has to you with the memories it carries from your dad and gramps.
