Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Military & Police Model of 1905, also known as the .38 M&P 3rd Model, was built as a square or round (rarely) butt K frame with 5 screws. Barrels of 2”, 4", 5", and 6" were common. Serial numbers ran from 241,704 to 1,000,000 with a total of 758,296 produced circa 1915-1942. This example has the 4" barrel and a square butt. Cylinder length is roughly 1.56". It is interesting to note that the Smith & Wesson catalogue of the time applied the Model 1905 designation to all square butt revolvers and the M1902 designation to all round butt revolvers. This was mainly an internal factory method of reference. As a result, S&W collectors may refer to the M1905 round butt revolvers (38 SPL and 32-20 versions) as M1902s. This 1905 would make a nice addition to any S&W fan’s collection.
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3 day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
