Just purchased yesterday with my tax refund check! 1903-1905 Smith & Wesson M&P (low serial number). There is also a badge number etched into the frame under the cylinder.
Speaking of .45s, did I hear that today is the M1911's 100th birthday?

That looks like a nice vintage 1950's or early 60's model 10. You can't beat those old revolvers. It seems that the more you shoot them the smother they get. Are you going to put a Tyler T-Grip on it?Just purchased yesterday with my tax refund check! 1903-1905 Smith & Wesson M&P (low serial number).

Kirk, it's a pre-model 10 and from what I understand they introduced the ramp sight in 1952 and discontinued the tapered barrel in the mid-60's so it's between there. The serial number is C 99xx if anyone can help with the specific date.
I like the way T-Grips look on snubnoses and later Smiths with the bulldog barrels, but on the tapered barrel of a pre-Model 10 I don't really like them too much.
Starline makes .45 S&W (schofield) brass amoung many others, and it can be ordered through Midway USA.In ref to the the Schofield clone,that is a sweet looking revolver. I have not had the pleasure yet of shooting one, just the SAA's, and you are right the grip can shift around a little on those. How hard is it to find brass for the 45 S&W round?

Make sure you sign up with a MidwayUSA account. They email you with specials (whoppee), and on varying Holidays and sometimes your birthday, you get an extra % off. I bought my Marvel Conversion for $300 back when it was regularly $360 (roughly). Great place to do business with.Starline makes .45 S&W (schofield) brass amoung many others, and it can be ordered through Midway USA.

That a Sedgley Krag?
I've wondered, but I've never been able to find any Sedgley marks on it. I dunno if they marked all their rifles or not.
Check the bolt track for a serial number.
