The last pic was a no show. It's finish is truly excellent period. It's either nice or it isn't and really not relevant to its age. They can be found that nice at any age. They are just much scarcer to find that old and that nice!

I'm new to the Forum and have a pre-34 Kit Gun with serial number 40XX and from what I've read in the forum, it seems to be a good idea to get the "letter" from S&W Historian..how does one go about getting the letter?
Any help appreciated
Any help appreciated
What a screamin' "pair to draw to", and both 4 screw 'New' I frames!

Lungman, welcome to the forum.
That's certainly one TO BE proud of.
Your Model of 1953 .22/32 Kit Gun, 4 screw, with 4" barrel and round butt options, was most likely in an early 1954 shipment.
In my database:
145 3/54
1009 10/54
1281 4/54
These provide a perspective of how out-of-order serial #s can ship.

It's always nice to see an older thread like this one revived. Lots of good info for everyone concerned. I was going to post my 4 digit model of 1953 but realized that I already had a dog in this fight.
Hondo, I think it be a safe bet to say that you really, really like kit guns!
I certainly appreciate your input and am certain that the others do as well.

John,
My pleasure.
Yes I have an "extreme weakness" for the I frames, I frame target models especially, and all Smith target models as well. They keep me HBB, (happy, busy, and broke)!

I've shown this here before- serial number 7855 with a S.D. Myres gun rug.

Schematic
I desperately need to fing a schematic for a model 11 pre 1967 .32 Caliber Revolver. It has 4 screws in the side plate, and the rebound for the trigger is co,pletely different than in the newer pistols. It actually has a second internal spring mounted to the front inside of the grip frame. And I am a little confused on how all the parts fit together to rebound the trigger and work the hand to rotate the Cylinder correctly.
Does anyone have one or know where I can find one? I have attaxched 3 pics. If anyone can help with the orientation of these 2 parts please let me know. This is not a Kit gun it is a old gun and the Hand was worn out. I have ordered the hand, I hope the new ones will interchange with the old ones. In the mean time I am trying to figure out how these 2 parts go together inside the gun. It was brought to me in patrs. Thank you.
Sincerely: Starrider

A model 11 is a K frame post WW II Hand ejector. Is your gun a 32 S&W Long or 32-20 Winchester (a K frame).
Your photos are of a pre 1915 hand elector and appear to be a .32 S&W Long Hand Ejector built on the I frame.
The photos you need are in this thread: http://smith-wessonforum.com/s-w-hand-ejectors-1896-1961/423717-my-first-model-1896-a-new-post.html
Can you post a photo of the your entire gun?
You should start a new thread to get responses instead of tagging onto this 22/32 Thread.

I have a soft spot for the 22 j's but unfortunately do not own o e presently. The prices on them sure have escalated in the last few years. I am on the hunt for a shooter grade 2" ( square butt preferably) but prices even on average to scruffy examples ( while I do like pretty as much as the next guy, for a shooter do not really care what the outside looks like. ) this is one of those cases where buying new stainless appears to perhaps cost less than older blued

2 Winchester Smith & Wesson
No, that pistol has the rebound block and Spring. Mine doesn't have that. There is a second internal spring mounted to the inside front of the grip frame that puts pressure on the parts to rebound the trigger.

Which revolver(s) are you referring to as "that pistol" and having rebound block and spring...in this thread link I posted for you?
http://smith-wessonforum.com/s-w-ha...3717-my-first-model-1896-a.html#post138460461
If so, you looked at the wrong photos; check all the photos and look only at those with parts that look like your gun!
Your 32-20 K frame Hand Ejector #11298 Model 1902 - 1st Change is from 1903-04.
And it's like all I and K frame hand ejectors, which have no rebound slide until after ~ 1906. And all the way to the present.

Jim,
I posted this in another thread but it seems this is 'THE' thread for Model of 1953 .22/32 Kit guns....
Looks like this low serial number gal can be added to the 3/1954 group.
Thanks for the valuable information on this wonderful model. It is much appreciated, sir. I enjoy reading your posts.
