Nice find! I really enjoy the two 2nd Model HE's that I have. They are a lot of fun at the range!
The blued gun shipped 9/9/1925 to Union Hardware, Los Angeles California and the nickel gun shipped 12/13/1926 to the Frank Budge Co. Miami Florida. I got a set of 1917 grips to replace the ivory grips for shooting. Both guns shipped with non medallion checkered grips.

Tired Iron Revisited
A number of years ago I visited the Jackson, MS Gun Show and spied this old shooter on a table. She was well used but functional, I was looking for a project and for the princely sum of $200, she went home with me. I was planning to re-blue it but after all her mechanical work was done and she turned out to be a great shooter, I thought better. She earned her battle scars. Just an old timer, the grips are smooth with wear, she was carried daily and must have been a jailer's gun. She was shipped to St. Louis in the same configuration as seen, although the grips have no visible number on them. I guess its time to dig her out of the safe and visit the range. I love gold nuggets lake this one. Great thread and you have a nice find. You can not stop with only two!

Mine was built on a leftover 1917 frame.

If ever a gun was "handsome," I'd say this is it!
Also, many examples here that "I wish could talk."

Hi Bruce
congratulations for the revolver but also for the holster!!!
Is it a Heiser 754?
I'm looking for one 754 wants to live with me, can you ask its if it wants to move house?
Thanks, Bill.
It's about $1500 worth of accessories on a $350 gun.

The grip adapter and stocks are 1k at least.
24432 shipped 12/8/26 to Belknap Hardware in Lousiville, KY. Purchased on grunbreaker in 2016, it arrived with new-style S&W service stocks. Here it is wearing a set of spiffy bigmtnman magnas.

Thanks, Tom for bringing this one back up. Lots of photos of cool 2nd Models here. Also like your gun a lot.
I went all ga-ga for 5" 2nd Model .44's for a spell, thinking that they were somewhat rare. But I see that they are well-appreciated by this bunch. I now have two 5" (1926 and a 1937 with matching magnas) and two 6.5" examples in the pile. Here's one scratched 2nd Model (1925) carried by Officer Gay E. Dusenberry, and one purdy 2nd Model (1940 with magnas) purchased from Lee.
