Whew, that's a relief. Yesterday I thought I was in the Twilight Zone -- everybody was oooing and ahhing about something that I couldn't see. I was wondering "Did the Emperor get new clothes?"
Today I can see it. Thanks for all the work it took to put that together.

Great work! You beat me to it. This has been on my to-do list for a while. I also have spare examples of pretty much every stock/grip variety you show. I have them spread out on a table in my shop. I got as far as taking pics of all seven pre-war N varieties and a few of the post-war targets. You saved me a ton of effort. Maybe I'll so the same with K or I sometime.

Thanks to Hoosier45 for putting that great reference material together and doing such a good job of organizing and describing it. And thanks to Handejector for getting it back on this page for all of us to see. I also think the information is worth of a "sticky". I can imagine wanting to refer to it often!

BRAVO!
Hopefully it will be pinned for reference.

Great job! I appreciate all the work you put into it. In answer to Combat, I have quite a few non-relieved,smooth rosewood,presentation target stocks. They all letter and are all on special order and engraved N frames. They date from 1953 to 1956. They may have started earlier. Doc44 May have an earlier example. The photo is a special order two toned 357 Magnum shipped in 1955. Bill

Terrific Job, I can truly appreciate how much effort something like this takes...it took ME a good five minutes to figure out how to copy it and put it somewhere on my computer...I screwed up and had to redo it a couple of times. Thank you
Outstanding information. I am grateful for your sharing the knowledge.

Definitely should be published.
Great information thread! To the OP or anyone else. football targets..what time frame did the part of the stock that curls up to the trigger guard get shorter .Also when did the front part of the butt ( toe ) have a more of a flare than a somewhat straight downward slope.
Laketime...Target stocks with less wood in the trigger guard area started to be used in 1973-1974. I don't know the answer to your second question.
