S&W Model of 1899 M&P

[Jcordell]

Picked this up today. Serial number 197XX. Matching serial numbers. Timing is good. Very little endshake. Appears to be the original finish. Clean bore. Paid $375.00 for it at a local pawnshop. I'm very excited with my find. Notice it looks like a colt. In 1902 S&W went with the locking lug in front of the ejector rod. It's a 38 special. A little over 20,000 of this configuration were made between 1899 - 1902.
