Here is my understanding. The model 90 was available in Nickle and Blued finishes. The 91 were only available as a polished finish. So, it would depend on the finish of your particular cuff as to which model you have. Hope that helps.

The model 91 was a polished model 90 also available in blued although it's quite rare. Some model 90s are shinier than others and there was even a high polish 90 at one time. Some of the older model 91s have a beautiful mirrored finish.

The very early S&W models also listed one that came in a chrome finish which is presumable even shinier.

Hope this helps. Mr. Blackburn and I discussed this via email quite a few times a few years back so maybe he can add some details.

Looking at them now they do look the same colour as the ones in the gallery marked model 90 which i guess is just nickle. Thanks so much for the help its a question that i have always wanted to know the answer to and now i know makes it more understandible. Many thanks martin

M-90, M-91 and M-928 on grey background (lighter than neutral grey). But not easy to show the polished finish ...



Warning, big picture

So there are the M-91. And slight error, it's the M-938 ("inox" steel) at bottom, not 928 (doesn't exist).
