New to me Triple Lock

Register to hide this ad
Righteous looking original finish triplelock with the brass medallions. As mentioned above caliber markings on Left side of barrel seem unusual. Nothing on Right side of barrel? How about the top of barrel, any patent dates?

Here is my Triple Lock, I think also original. 12090 shipped April 14, 1916. Caliber marked on the left side. Nothing on the right side, patents on top of barrel.
SCSW 4th Edition says... 1910: Barrel caliber roll mark on the left side with nothing marked on the right side. This was changed to the right side and "Smith & Wesson" added to the left side on K & N frames in 1915. 15,375 Triple Locks manufactured circa 1907-1915. Although some were sold later. Don't know about the 1907 to 1910 period.
