I haven't pulled the side plate yet to see how they did this one, but my guess is that if you bought a hammer from king it was marked and if they converted yours it was not.

Wow, that's a great one. Mine is very similar to that and it's one of the neatest guns I own.

If i could find some .38 ammo i would go right out and shoot it. The grips aren't terribly well finished inside. I will have to wait until tomorrow to get the stocks off and get some photos.

I would venture a guess that the gun was actually a 38/44 Outdoorsman that was King converted. If you PM me the full serial number, I'll see if I have it in my database. The 40000 and 41000 serial number ranges are predominantly 38/44 Outdoorsman. I only know of 1 41000 serial number for an HD. nice looking gun.

1aspenhill has serial numbers on each side of this pistol as 38/44 Outdoorsmans, so the odds are this is an upgraded Outdoorsman although unless someone was a very dedicated target shooter that would seem to be overkill.
