Need help dating my older revolvers
Using SCSW 3rd Edition and Internet sources I have vague ideas of the age of these pistols but any help would be appreciated.
2nd Model 44 Spec HE, 29756, no registration line
1937 Brazilian #191198
M1917 #99879
Thanks.

Per SCSW 4th edition, the .44 was produced in 1928
The Brazilian was in the 1937-38 shipment,
The Model of 1917 was made in August 1918

Thanks for the info, you confirmed what I thought on the 44 HE and narrowed down the M1917 date for me.

murdock, if your .44 HE has no Made in U.S.A. line, it would have been made earlier than 1928. Are you sure about the SN? Also, does it have a mushroom or barrel shaped ejector rod knob?

I believe my friend from the Wiregrass meant to say "mid 1922" rather than "1928".

Aye, there's the rub. Serial number is correct, no registration line. Re-Barreled with a post WWI M1917 barrel and a 45 ACP cylinder.
That's why I asked for help. No line says 1922, catalog says number is 1928. Mushroom knob, no shroud. I bought this knowing it was a FrankenGun, just trying to establish the starting point of the frame.
