I had to add the latest one to the batch even though it is a Model 10.
Show off your M & P revolvers (pre-10's)

Thanks for correcting me on the date. A couple of others looked at it & said that they had not seen those grips on one around that time. I let him remove them to see the ser. # stamped on it.
I am going to sell or trade that one.

Are you sure about that?
The hammer seems to be a "short action", so must be after mid-1948 (??)

Well, the grips number to the gun. That's good. You may want to wait awhile before you sell it cheap. Find out exactly what it is worth. We can do that here.
But not in this thread.

With that barrel length and the nice patina I think that one is very pretty. It still has some shine despite the wear and looks well balanced. I bet she shoots straight too. Nice piece.

There's been some debate on here whether this gun is reblued or not. A lot of disagreement even among the experts on this one. It shipped March 1924. I have the original non-medallion grips and they are pristine.

Are there any small Stamps on the Grip part of the Frame, indicating it had been sent back to S&W?
Kinda looks like a later 1930s or 1940s Blue which S&W would have done if one were sent in for a re-blue to them.
But definitely does not look like the Blue S&W was using in the early 1920s.

There are no factory stamps indicating it been back to S&W.
There are no weak spots in the roll marks, all the parts that are not supposed to be blue are not. The screws are perfect. If you notice, the case colors are perfect. The action feels like the revolver has not been broken in. The original non-medallion grips are almost perfect. The few spots it does have on it looks like they are from sitting in someone's sock drawer for 50 years. I just have to wonder why someone would pay to have one of the most professional re-blues I have ever seen on a relatively inexpensive and common revolver. It may well be a refinish, but the experts here have disagreed.
Oh, and it does have a LOT of oil on it in the pic.

Not an expert but I say original finish and not a reblue.
