Backstrap numbered?

No backstrap number in this one. It's serial number is 166XXX, so that puts it in the run of 1917's and well before the first run of 1937's. Actually reading further, I see it lists a last serial number of 169959 in January 1919, so I'd say my gun was made late 1918. It has the rounded top strap and round bottomed rear sight notch. Barrel, cylinder and extractor star all match the frames serial number as do the smooth wood stocks. Eagle over S2 stamps are on the bottom of the barrel, rear of the cylinder and inside the crane cutout on the frame.
I'm trying to decide between a Tyler T-Grip or a set of Herrets for it and shoot the heck out of it!
