I've got a few chambered in 38 special and a few more in 32-20, but I really like this pre-war snubby.
Here is a Pre-war .38 M&P HE from 1917-1918. I picked it up last Sunday at a local show. It's a six inch, with diamond magnas. I have several Pre-war M&P's but this is the earliest one so far. I really like the look of it. I plan to load up some .38 Special round nose lead bullets and see how it shoots.

Photo from an earlier post in this thread....
went away when Image Cave disappeared, so thought I would grab another.
Not a big fan of pearlies but these steerheads were so good I had to buy them.

Poor photos of a fun old gun...
This gun really tells a story! It looks like an old friend!

Three Pre-War M&P's
Some Pre-war M&P's, the nickel one is from the 1930's. The middle one is from the 1920's as I recall. Both of those are 38 Special. The top one is a 22 Outdoorsman from the 1930's.
One of these days I'll learn how to do pictures - take them & post them.

I do not have pictures of all of them but this is one of my favorites.
An M&P 2nd Model (1902) which has a serial number that precedes the earliest one recorded in SCSW and History of Smith and Wesson.

My 2.
This one is from about 48 or 49 serial number c10876
This one I believe is a 53 model. Serial number c245861.
She has a lot of wear on the right side stock. Looks like a
lot of hands on while in a holster. Maybe a police gun that
got handled a lot on duty.

Time to bring this back to the top with my new early post-war "S" prefix M&P.

This M&P (Model 1905 4th change) dates from 1923, and is in excellent shape. It has a 6" barrel.

Here's mine, I thought a family pic would be appropriate. The four and six-inch members of the M&P family are still out there somewhere. I didn't want the 32-20 HE to feel left out.
First is a six-inch 32-20 HE, I'm waiting on a letter for this one.
Second is a five-inch M&P C 103XXX range
Last is a two-inch M&P C 146XXX range

Here's one of my "fun" favorites.... M&P model of 1905, 1st or 2nd Change. These models were made between 1906-1909.
I did have this one lettered and Roy indicated that is was originally manufactured with a 6" barrel and could be a transition from the
1st to the 2nd change.
It has the ".38 S&W Special & U.S. Service Ctg's" stamping on the barrel. It was shipped January 2, 1908 to the
Belknap Hardware Company, Louisville, KY. It has a star on the butt; and went back to the factory on 5/14.

Linda,
Very nice composition - I love the "dead man's hand."
My grandfather's Model of 1902 M&P was also shipped to Belknap Hardware in Louisville, in 1904. He may have purchased it there, as he was a resident in Kentucky at the time.
It's pretty beat up now; he evidently gave it very hard use. He packed it in the shoulder holster shown here as a dry goods store owner.

John, thanks for the kind words. It's such an ugly duckling, I had to get real creative. It was originally shipped with checkered diamond grips which are now smooth from wear. The grips in the image are from one of the forum members... I thought they went great with the "8's & Aces" !
The shot of your 1902 looks great! I like "studio" shots, but especially with the oldies that have that "been there, done that" look, you have to do something different.
