1915 2nd Model in .45 Colt is my oldest S&W.

The correct grips look like that, but have gold medallions and are slightly larger - those are k frame grips and slightly too small for the frame. If you have any of the correct ones, I'd be happy to trade for them or buy.

Oh, I know they are K frame stocks. Mine came with the same K frame stocks. Kinda wierd.

Fresh out of correct ones, though. Sorry about that.

Here's my oldest S&W. I've sent away for a letter, but am guessing 1927-1929. Has what appears to be LE property #. Will be interesting to see where it's been (most recently it was a police confiscation or surplus resold here in TN).

Doesn't even qualify for this section, but it is by far the oldest that I own.
A 1948 K22,engraved in Germany in the 1950s.I replaced the oversize thumbrest grips that came with it (and were made at the same time that the engraving was done) with pre-war grips so that all of the engraving would be revealed.

1919. This one was tortured by the British and it was on their side!

I have a nickle plated break-top .38 S&W from 1906, with "Boston Police Dept" engraved on the backstrap and a Jinks letter confirming it. No pics though, but I have to get around to photographing it.

Here is my oldest Smith, a Model 1899. Yes, it has been refinished. Judging from the SN it was probably made around 1901 or 1902.

Prior to finding the Model 1899, this M&P was my oldest Smith. I have not lettered it, but it was made between 1906 and 1909. And yes, it is a pleasure to shoot.
