Default A 38/44 HD

I puchased this 38/44 at the Kansas City show last weekend. Serial S105XXX from February 1954. Very nice condition with a little blue wear on the tip of the barrel.

Very nice! Four-inch N-frames are handsome revolvers, and that one is no exception.

Nice Roy, that's a dapper looking example. Grips sure do look like they fit well. I bet they number don't they.

Excellent, Roy! Congratulations. That condition is getting very difficult to find.

Roger,
I think Roy said the grips are matching. It is a nice gun though and he blames me for all the 38/44 purchases he has made recently!

Bill can lead one astray easily ! I took the grips off this afternoon and I don't think they have been of the gun before. They do number to the gun.

The 4" HD is definitely one of the best looking handguns ever made. Congratulations and enjoy!
