The flat headed side plate screw is in the wrong position. It should be covered by the right grip.

It's probably not worth too much, but I like it and it's fun to shoot. Enjoy!
Interested in how you “aged” them, if you’re willing to share.
I used tea to do a pair of pre-war style I had Pat make, but would like them a bit darker.

Thanks "Muley Gil" on the screw screw-up!. I was focusing on returning the yoke screw #1 to the same position. The yoke screw is fitted to #1 position and the other two?? They are correct now. Will update the picture soon.

I love the classic look of the 2nd Model Hand Ejector. There are some very nice examples in this thread!
I’ve posted this 5” before, that shipped in 1927.
Please indulge me one more time.

In several contact letters to the S&W Historical Foundation this is a Model of 1950 .44 Target, Pre-Model 24. The gold box "1926" is from a previous model of .44 Hand Ejector 3rd Model. This is a .44 Hand Ejector 4th Model Target.
