A Sock Drawer 2nd Model HE 44

[6string]

That is a beautiful revolver.
In that condition, you can truly see the craftsmanship that went into it.
The metal preparation, the bluing, the grip contours and checkering….I don't think we'll ever see that again!
I'm sure it shoots very well, too.

The nice ones are a small and finite quantity. For a desirable model and chambering, all the more so.

If you see one and like it, get it!

Nice acquisition!

Many of the 2nd Model 44s I see show lots of character along with signs of being carried and some carried and used a lot. A few months ago I bought this one which doesn't appear to have traveled very many miles in a holster. I had decided to make one max bid on it and not to chase it beyond that. As it turned out it took every penny of that bid to win. I always wonder when that happens, just a coincidence I suppose. All numbers match including the stocks; shipped April 1929.View attachment 788063View attachment 788064View attachment 788065View attachment 788066View attachment 788067
