Long time lurker, first time poster. My first foray into early Hand Ejectors began today when a couple of Model of 1903s came home with me. Naturally, as I began to research them, questions arose. They're not the prettiest, but the price was right.




The blued one is serial number 9152, which I believe makes it a no change model. Is that right? I'm also a little puzzled by the pinned front sight and different shape on the hammer spur. Granted, the hammer may have gotten reshaped due to a drop or other abuse, but it looks very even and symmetrical for that to have happened.
The nickel revolver is serial number 119895, Fifth change.

If anyone could narrow down when these might have been shipped or shed some light on the front sight and hammer of the blued revolver, I'd be grateful.
