S&W model of 1905

[Calfed]

I recently glommed this 6" model 1905 M&P at an online sale. Serial number is 5042xx, which, I believe, makes it a 4th change model. More pics when it arrives.

Nice, now to get a Sam Brown belt set.

Sure, maybe some Jodhpurs and boots too!

Nice find.

Nice find.

thanks, joem.

I think I got a decent deal on it.

The auction description advised...

Serial no. 504283, .38 caliber, 6-inch barrel with fixed blade front sight and frame notch rear sight. Blued finish. Case-hardened hammer and trigger. Checkered walnut grip panels. Sold along with three loading accessories and extra walnut grips.

Condition: Very good. Retaining approximately 92-94% finish with thinning at muzzle, scattered handling wear and pitting. Scuffs and dings present to wood. Action crisp. Bright bore.

Not sure what the "extra walnut grips" are, nor the "loading accessories". Supposedly has a "bright bore", but that could mean anything.

Tou might do a bit of research in that caliber. It should have a barrel sized for .357 bullets. Earlier ones (pre 1903) I think used .361 or .362 bullets.

Thanks, joem. I'll see what I can find

The 1905 arrived at my FFL today and I got a chance to look it over before it went into the FFL's safe for the 10 day wait.

Actually looks better in person than the pictures suggests. Bore is in good shape. Was not able to take the grips off to see if they are matching. Everything else seems to match.

Came with an extra set of S&W square butt magna grips and 3 HKS speed loaders (!)
