I had one once that was just as nice, but the stocks were not as bright. In the late 1960's I was stationed in NJ and was offered some guns from a deceased collector. All I had was a typewritten list with prices. I picked 3 S&W's off the list: a 1917 Army for $50, a nickle plated .32-20 with jigged bone grips for $60, and a second model .44 HE in .44-40 with 5 or 5.5" barrel for $65. Upon close examination the .44 HE did not appear to have ever been fired, and I never fired it in the year or so that I owned it. I traded it off for a M28 after I came back from VN in 1970. I was a lot dumber and younger then than I am now, but at least I didn't lose money on it. The only 2nd Model .44 HE that I have now is a Target model that is pretty nice, but not as nice as the one in the OP or as the one I had earlier.
