Ejector Rod Thread
The change to the direction of the thread of the ejector rod (from right hand to left hand) occurred in 1960. The Model 53 .22 Jet was introduced in 1961, so there probably were not any Model 53 .22 Jet revolvers with right hand threaded ejector rods.
(I won't say there were none, but if there are any, they are very few and far between.)
The Model 53 is fun to shoot. I have four (two 4 inchers, one 6 and one 8). Remington unprimed brass can still be found if you look for it. I recently bought several boxes on GunBroker. Original ammo is getting expensive and is really too hot to shoot comfortably (and erodes the barrel), so I load my own. Two of my guns have the .22 LR aux cylinders and I to shoot them, too.
