That looks like it's been sitting in an drawer for 90 years! Nice find.
I just checked mine; from it's 6 digit serial number, it appears to be the Third Model; however the address and patent dates are on the top of the barrel (no mention in the S&W book)32 long on the right side and Smith & Wesson on the left; 5 screw, small S&W logo on left side of frame.
No where near as nice as the R&P Target version I found in a pawn shop (and flipped for a bunch more) but fun to shoot with lwsc bullets.
