I picked-up this 1924 S&W Model 1905 (4th change) today.
It sports a 5" barrel and Franzite faux stag grips.....It would have left the factory with checkered walnut stocks with no medallions.
It looks like along the line (many years ago) it went back to S&W for a re-blue and sights upgrade.....Possibly a action job too as it's super slick.
I love 5" S&Ws so I probably overpaid at $300.00....Oh well.
