Hello PA24 :
I have researched the serial number on this particular SxS and have determined from the reference material that it was produced in 1914.
However, the interesting component of this particular gun consists of the fact that the frame is marked with the letter "R", following the serial number 347,XXX.
In spite of the "R", which indicates to me that the gun is on a "Regular" frame as opposed to being a "FW" "Featherweight" frame, the right hand side plate has five screw holes and not four. Additionally, on the underside of the frame, the cut-out for the barrel bolt has a radius end on the rectangle which measures 0.375" wide X 0.689" length.
Could it be that my SxS is a Featherweight model, but was incorrectly stamped with the letter "R" by mistake?
Regards,
Dr.W.E.Brown
