Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The US Army then followed the Navy in adopting a modern 38 DA revolver. Based on Navy use, the Army model has 2nd set of locking notches added to the cylinder. 1892 and later DAs all look similar to the 1889 Navy, except with double cylinder notches, double locking bolts, and shorter flutes, square cylinder release thumb catch. Plain uncheckered wood grips (Army contract military issue models only). All Military models are all 38 caliber and blue only.
US Army military issue models include the Model of 1892, Model of 1894, Model of 1896, Model of 1901, Model of 1903, Model 1895 for the Navy, and a Model 1905 Marine Corps variant. 1903 and 1901 models were made and survived in greater quantity, and so are worth less than earlier models. Most military models have been altered, refinished, reworked, or otherwise altered, which reduces value. Technical alterations by the Army itself - such as cylinder-open lock bolts and lanyard rings added later were part of this evolution. Most alterations reduce value, but a few are sought after (similar to finding a correct SAA Artillery model). Unaltered examples of Models of 1892, 1894, and 1896 bring a premium. US Models 1901 and 1903 are common.
