I've seen Doc's 4" barrel M&P & took a couple of photo's, looks like one of them didn't download but it appears to be a first year production #74XX because there were less than 21,00 produced. The gun spent many, many years in that Browning holster which is marked "Odgen, Utah, not Morgan, Utah which was later. These guns came with checkered hard rubber, or smooth walnut stocks. It appears the sheriff that owned this revolver put some faux Ivory square butt stocks on it for duty. I would say the gun has at least 70% bluing & is very tight, screws are good.
I'll try to get the other photo up, here's the one I have. I also have 2 photo's of the Browning holster. Not sure where to post them. No box or papers found.

Just amazing how vivid the case colors are after over 100 years. Like the old ad said "a thing of beauty and a joy forever". Glad it found a good home.
