Mine is s/n 785xx shipped January 10, 1951. It also is satin and the barrel shroud is cut for the large ejector knob. I sent it back to S&W about 35 years ago because it didn’t quite index properly and when it came back the later style ejector rod was installed. I had requested that my original parts be returned, but they weren’t. It is my first 44 Special and is a joy to shoot.
