Default wolf and klar 44 he arrives

I believe this was in the shipment of 300 guns to wolf and klar for the Houston pd march of 1931.Serial number 34766 hpd stamped on the handle issue number 28. I wonder how many gangsters this was pulled on with all the holster burn.No rust with a very super nice bore.The butt has some dings.I think it was used alittle for hanging wanted posters.

I make that serial from around 1929. Is it lettered as 1931? Easily could have shipped later than serial suggests it was made.

It makes you wonder there that old timer has been, the hands that held it, and the stories it could tell you if it could whisper.

What an excellent addition to the collection! Utility and history in the same package. For some guns that's all you need.
