One of my favorite S&W’s
I wanted to take a couple of photos of one of my favorite S&W revolvers. The 44 hand ejector second model target. It was shipped in the summer of 1930 to the George Worthington Wholesale Hardware o. In Cleveland Ohio. It has that great high polish finish of that era. Bill

Best of the Best
Wow! What great condition. Appears to be well taken care of.
Many years of enjoyable shooting, and to your enjoyment.
If it were mine, it too would be in a Good Home and well taken
care of, and make it into my Revolver Range Bag, rotating
through every so often.
Thank you for Sharing and the Pictures.

The former quarters for the George Worthington Company were transformed in apartments and condos in the 1990s. I did the trim work in many of them. It is good to know the history lives on, in a variety of ways.
