Hello everyone,
While at the LGS taking delivery of a mod 63, I also took delivery of an old 38 Hand Ejector Target. Serial is 670xxx. I'm guessing late 1930s production. The bluing on this is very dark and rich and still in very good condition. Normally I would suspect a re-blue, but all of markings and seams are very distinct. I think it's original but maybe the experts out there know what else to look for and can weigh in. It has the humpback hammer with great case color hardening. Unfortunately it didn't come with the original grips, so put on some faux stag service grips which feel nice in the hand. Looking forward to shooting this old target hand ejector and wanted to share with forum.
I'm guessing not many of these came with the humpback hammer.
