Need Help with 2nd Model .44 Hand Ejector
I picked this one up at a local gun show today, and I'm hoping to find out a little more about it. It numbers to 1917 (16,xxx), came with the smooth grips pictured, and has 'P889' stamped next to the serial number on the bottom of the grip frame. Under the grips, etched in one of the grip panels is Captain Hill, what appears to be DOP, and some more numbers I can't make out. The seller said from his research it came from a Captain Hill with the New York State Police. Note: I bought the gun and not the story. Anyway, here are some pics.
