Hi, I am fairly new to this thread. Would like to ask the expert community about this S&W hand ejector model I currently own. I believe its a 1st change because the serial number under the cylinder is 500xx, but on the butt handle and on the edge of the cylinder their is another number
971xx. Which is the right one? I got this beauty from an 80 something year old man that told me he had it sent to S&W and they put their original pearl handles and had it nickled. The pearl handles have the S&W circle logo on them. the last dates patent on gun are 1906 or 08 cant distinguish. I will post pics if I can. Can someone help I have spent hours and hours looking for the info. and value Thanks You
