#365 - S&W Triple Lock Target

 I have never had the opportunity to own a S&W Triple Lock, much less two...So when the opportunity arose recently during one of my seldom seen periods of financial solvency, to buy a Target version as well as a military example, I pounced on it like a fat man on a Hershey bar...The pics below are of the Target version which was the first to emerge from Dunkin Gunwash...Thanks to the efforts of the fine folks at the S&WHF I know it shipped 5/12/1916 to Rice Lewis & Son, a hardware store in Toronto, Canada...From there it made its way eventually to my home in Texas...

All the metal numbers match...The stocks are correct era and well fitted, but are unnumbered...A letter is forthcoming...

#364 - S&W M&P

This may be the cleanest Military & Police I have acquired to this date...I have been looking for years for a gun shipped close to or exactly on my birthdate, and this is as close as I've come...The month and year are right, and the forthcoming letter will tell me what day...It also has the original numbered stocks, and the original box...Cleanup complete, still waiting on the promised letter...
