Police trade in 1920's S&W

I bought a 1905 M&P fourth change hand Ejector .38 special(long name) from a fellow that said it came in with a bunch of police trade-in S&W 10's and Ruger Service-Six's last year. He bought it because it was a 6" barrel and older than dirt. I looked up the serial # and it dates to about 1922! Long run of service for an old revolver. I took it apart and cleaned a pile of crud and dirt out of the mechanism. Mechanicly fine shape, good bore, original grips(worn pretty smooth), shoots accurate, not much blue left, interesting to see the wear on the muzzle from 80 years in the holster. Cool old gun!
