Folsom has been out of business since about 1956. In 1905 anyone who could lay $10 on the counter could have purchased this pistol with no questions asked. There MIGHT have been a record if Folsom had wholesaled it to another sporting goods store, but that part of their business dealt with "house brands" so most likely an S&W product would have sold through their own retail outlets.

If the person posting this message left their e-mail address, we inserted some random characters to prevent spammers from harvesting their address. Spammers do this with automated "bots" that constantly search the Web looking for e-mail addresses. Since you're a human being, not a bot, you can easily obtain the real address by removing the text that says "ThisisToPreventSpam-XYZ-RemoveThis." including the random number XYZ and the period at the end. For example, <whitten@ThisIsToPreventSpam-123-RemoveThis.despammed.com> would become <chris-(@)-interesting.com>.
