The Smith and Wesson Historical Foundation now issues letters for S&W hand ejectors. Yes, there is a fee for the service. Go to this link for details.

S226611 would have been 1961-1962 according to SCSW.

NoFear37: According to the Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson, S194201 was made in 1958/59. Regarding your step brother, I sure hope he survived that incident.

Picture or it didn't happen. :p

SCSW says K421xxx would be a 1960 vintage. Very nice gun! Cops will probably be banging on your door 'cause you stole that thing. :p

SCSW says 59k19XX = 1980.

Mike454 was kind enough to send me the original scans for the 44 Associates compilation by Lawrence Newton. I have created a pdf file from them and uploaded it to the server. It is a bit better quality than the copy that was there. Thanks Mike!

Two things... First, I have fixed the pages in the 44 Associates.pdf file. They are now in the correct order. Second, I have uploaded a new copy of the S&W Triplelock and the 44 Special Cartridge.pdf by Gordon Boser. As anyone who has downloaded that file knows, it was a touch blurry and a...
