S&W .44 Hand Ejector, First Model - Triple Lock
03/02/12 11:52 PM

Here are images of my Smith & Wesson .44 Hand Ejector 1st Model, "New Century" Triple Lock.

Many (including the inimitable Elmer Keith) consider this iconic revolver to be the very pinnacle of Smith & Wesson's design and production. Relatively few were made; only 15,375 from 1907-1915. They can be called the Holy Grail of a S&W collection.

This particular example bears serial number 15. Without a doubt it was in the very first production batch.

At some point in its life it traveled to England, as evidenced by the Birmingham proofs bearing a date stamp of 1952. It has no military marks. It came back to the U.S. prior to 1968, as it bears no import marks.

It remains in excellent condition, with some areas lightly freshened up after the application of proof stamps. It's bore and chambers are like new, as are its mechanics.

Enjoy!
