I have a Smith and Wesson .44 Hand Ejector Second Model, caliber .44 S&W Special, revolver that (per Roy Jinks) has been converted to smooth bore after being shipped from the factory in 1923. (It is properly registered as an Any Other Weapon in the NFRTR). I have owned the firearm since 1978. It is in excellent/perfect condition and has a choke machined on the end of the barrel. Any suggestions on where to seek a value for this firearm? Jinks describes it as "a neat collector item" in the S&W letter of authenticity.

Pictures? What ammo are you supposed to shoot through it?

The best guess for value will probably be found on this forum. Pictures from different angles are a must.

You Shoot .44 Special shot shells in it. I initially had some .44 special brass hand loaded for it but now there are a number of commercial manufacturers of .44 magnum/special shot shells.

Will attach photo once I get it to a file.

I am taking a stab in the dark but I would guess it would be worth half or less of what a nice all original gun would be worth.

Having difficulty uploading picture. May be too big. I'll try and transmit in smaller mode.

I think it would be a neat gun.

does the choke set up look like this?

Looking forward to your pictures also
