This last image is the factory invoice for this 32-20 with two pair of stocks.

Terrific gun, and especially grips Mike. One thing that I find very interesting is the cost of the checked wood grips at 60 cents. Postage and registry is 44 cents.

Either, today, we are getting a fantastic deal on postage, or we are getting gouged on grips.

Pearl and ivory are better thought of as optional stocks. In the case of these two,
the factory was concerned about fakes and copies, so they purposely put medallions
in them - regardless of the configuration for wood stocks.

The nickel gun in this picture is a Model of 1899, shipped around 1900 - 1901. The
blue gun is around 1901. The nickel gun letters with those pearl stocks. These two
guns are 4" target revolvers.

This next picture is two 1899 4" M&P' revolvers. The gun with the pearl stocks was a special
order; the letter says that it was probably because of the pearl stocks.

Very interesting!


Thanks Mike!

Looks good to me! ( ie: probably Ivory and right for the period, if likely old time Aftermarket rather than Factory ).
