Triple Lock, 1st series, serial number question

[Housepuss]

I have recently acquired a TL, 1st series ,factory nickel, 5K serial number that left the factory 11-1911.

According to the SWSC #4 the serial number should be in 4
locations: Cylinder, Barrel, Butt and Yoke.

On this revolver the serial number on the butt and ejector rod shrould match. There is a 4 digit number, in the 1K series, on the
yoke and the frame, just under the shroud that do not match
the serial number found in the other 2 places.

The cylinder has no serial number of any kind but under the
extractor star there is a number that matches the butt serial number. There is no "N" on the cylinder face.

This is my first TL. Am I missing something or are these numbers correct for this early TL. I was wondering if the numbers on the yoke and under the shroud are nothing more
than assembly numbers and everying is correct.

The numbers on the frame, behind the yoke, and on the yoke are indeed assembly numbers.

Please post pictures.

I also have factory nickel triple-lock. SN 12090 shipped April 1916.
I have the SN on the butt, on the cylinder and in the shroud housing. I do not see a number under the star.

Your Triple Lock sounds like a very cool gun as is DAREs. The number on the yoke will be visible thru a cylinder chamber, you’ll probably need a light.

Housepuss,
Sounds like you are good except for SN on the cylinder. Pretty sure you should have a number like in the pic on my gun. To me that indicates somebody removed it at some point.
