Celebrate the Years - Post Your Oldest S&W Hand Ejector

"He himself was married to one of descendants of John Clark of the Lewis and Clark expedition. This marriage made Leroy Hillman a member of the Clark family, and he was known to many of the later-generation descendants as Uncle Leroy, one of whom remembers seeing the gun after Leroy died in 1918, of the Great Flu Epidemic."

I'm guessing you meant to type William Clark.

BTW, Elmer Keith was a descendent of William Clark.

This Model 1902 1st change was shipped January 16, 1905. In 1950 it was used by Wood Co. Constable Will Whittle to kill Mineola, TX Chief of Police Wesley Taylor in a gun fight in which both men died. It started with a dispute over who had jurisdiction in a traffic accident.

I can see me slicing myself open with that front sight, drawing from under a coat.

I would get a holster for it and deal with it. I is a pinned sight so you could run one with a angled rear. I am a 45 colt guy. Doc's early 4"and the 45 colt triple lock target owned by Jim Fisher are my Grail Guns.

Cool. Mineola is half way between my home and my office. Drive through it every day.

my oldest is a 22-32 from around 1924 - I gave it to my grandson for his birthday

Really fun to see all these nice old beauties. My oldest gun is my 32-20 HE model of 1902 first change. Shipped 1905. She's still in pretty good shape, and a fun plinking gun at the range.

Just to turn this thread upside down, I decided to post my NEWEST Hand Ejector. Truth be told, I don't get into the modern stuff and, given the rest of the stuff I collect, it's amazing I have anything this recent. A Registered Magnum dating from 1937.

It was a good excuse to post this one.

I wouldn't have posted this if it wasn't somewhat earlier, at least pre WWII.

You are right -William Clark is the Clark of Lewis & Clark. John Clark was William's father.

I don't know a lot about this firearm, it was in my dads gun case when I inherited them. It might not even be a model 10.

Is that a V I see on the cylinder?

 

[Wiregrassguy]

Welcome to the forums from the Wiregrass! You're right...it's not a Model 10. It's a .38 British Service Revolver from 1943-44 and that's about 14 years before S&W released the Model 10...and Model 11 which is what the M&Ps chambered for the .38 S&W cartridge were called. It appears your BSR has been reamed for .38 Special which was a pretty common modification to these guns when they were imported as surplus. Have you shot it?

 

[Chrissearle]

It is a V I found the serial number starts with a V under the grip. What does it mean?

 

[Wiregrassguy]

It means it is a Victory revolver from WWII as I said in post #118.
