Ask anyone ... I am not a lover of the 1st model 44 DA yet I fell in love with this one from the day you posted it. It is my favorite modified S&W I've ever seen. That the repairs ... AND modifications ... were performed by S&W all makes perfect sense.

Even if you had not been able to verify the modifications by S&W, it clearly presents as being modified by a "Master's" hand.

Double congrats on that find. Bill Cross is a extremely qualified, dedicated,historian / collector and friend. There is no one better qualified nor more motivated to be in charge of the S&WHF research than Bill.
