S&W Hand Ejectors

I picked up this .22LR a couple years ago and just got around to researching it.

Its a 1953 model 22/32 kit gun.
Its flat latch, cases seat flush with the face of the cyl and has 4 screws.
Its an early version with the serrated trigger and semi-target hammer, both case hardened.
SN puts the year of manufacture 1953.

I believe the finish to be the original one it came with, it has some lite holster ware but nothing bad.





Here it is with the correct walnut grips.




Lets see some pre 61 revolvers..

How pre-61 did you want to get? Maybe a 1st year production 2nd model? 1877

This 1917 dates to 1918, belonged to an old friend, he had it reblued (unfortunately) but the bore/chambers are in great shape. His widow wanted my older son to have it (he's an Army E6 and felt it was appropriate) to remember his "uncle". It's a great shooter.




Here's a 2nd Model HE, .44spl, made in 1925 originally nickel and was renickeled by S&W in 1957 (have the historical letter), belonged to my same friend as the above. I'm keeping it for his widow until she can have a safe place to keep it.
