Been searching around the forum a little the last few days and have a few more questions, if you all don't mind. 1. Would the grips on my .44 be the type I've seen refered to as interim? 2. Would a letter be able to tell me if it was returned to the factory at some point? If not,,as i understand...

Well, drove 2 1/2 hours last night to get this one. New to S&W....this makes my fourth. Hopefully the description I copied from Hondo44's post is the correct one. I hope you'll let me know if I picked wrong. 1/2 moon, 5 screw, Improved I frame (coil spring) mini magnas, 2nd and 3rd style post...

As far as the grips, just to understand correctly. Cokes are more about the size of the checkered panel than the swell, or am i focusing on the wrong features.

Thanks Doc44. Have enjoyed very much all of your information on these fine guns. Haven't read them all though, LOL. I see your a Hooiser. I reside in the North-East corner. I've guess I've realized from the start it was re-done at some point, just trying to determine if Wesson & Smith (that was...

Hate to keep posting pictures, but asking questions is how we learn. (Asking questions, and then listening) That second part is really important. 1. Grips--I know from looking at the excellent grip thread that the checkered panel looks smaller than some, but the rear profile looks more like the...

Found a star marked under the ejector star. Theres some othe fainter markings under there I can't quite make out as well.

WHelana01, Not in the mirror, but got a good picture of my wife holding it for my daughters boyfriend in a text, and cliche as it was that indeed was the line used. Fyimo, Really enjoy your pictures. There is no N anywhere. The only thing on the back of the cylinder is the serial numer.

RB, Not my full last name but, you wouldn't happen to be from the Leo area by chance.

My Third Smith New to the forum, but wanted to add this one. #n283,xxx. Haven't owned any Smiths in the twenty years I've been buying guns and have bought three in the last couple of weeks. Blame it all on the amount of information on this forum. Thanks. Seriously, thanks, I'm really starting...

The Smith And Wesson tradmark on the sideplate appears off-struck as well. I'll try to get a good picture of that as well. Doesn't look like it was buffed out, just thin on the bottom.

Figured it out. Had to resize my pictures first.

Thanks everyone. the finish really does look good enough to be right. I'm just going on what I've seen here in regards to the sights. The sight leaf is black, as is the screws holding it in. The ejector star is black and the front screw for the rear sight. The markings are all very crisp. I'll...

Hello, Joined your wonderfull group a week or so ago and finally got around to posting. I grew up around Colts and Winchesters and such, but my dad was fully hooked on 1911's and out of wheelguns by the time I started buying. I've always admired the Smith's but never really understood the...

Hello, Been looking around your great sight for a few weeks now. Amazing information. New to Smiths but have been into collectable firearms for a little while. I have recently purchased a few and will be posting some questions on them in the correct categories later but wanted to stop in here...
