From 1950 when production began until production ended, there were only 1200 .44 Special Military Models produced...This includes those that carried the Model 21 designation after 1957...I do not have a breakdown of this number by barrel length...This one came to me with a beautifully crafted solid brass grip adaptor...All numbers match including the original Magna stocks...S&WHF letter is included...
This gun shipped in December 1905 with a 6 1/2" barrel, target sights and a square butt (round butt was the other option)...The front sight is without a doubt a factory sight, but its shape is uncatalogued...Unfortunately in my haste to buy this newly listed gun, I failed to notice the stocks were of a later era...Correct era stocks are being sourced now...More photographs later...
This one is a rarity in my neck of the woods, an all numbers matching factory nickel .38 S&W Regulation Police shipped September 1922...It's been lightly shot, and the grips were so tightly fitted I doubt they had ever been removed until I gained possession due to the lack of deformation at all the edges...
This is what I would refer to as the post-modern version of the .32 Hand Ejector Model of 1903...The originals were built on the I Frame with leaf mainsprings and a slightly shorter grip frame...This 30-1 is a J Frame with 2" barrel...Shipped April 1976...
