Second model hand ejector 455 Colt caliber shipped to Winchester July 29, 1915 and used as an ammo test gun.

My oldest HE is a 1899 .32-20 that shipped in September 1901. It is in this thread:

I have a second 1902 .32-20 that shipped in May 1906, but no pictures. It is also a 5".

My oldest is this nickled 32 HE from the teens.

 

[Club Gun Fan]

My 32 HE shipped August 7, 1899. I bought it all scratched up by Oscar Young.

Triple Lock #6968 5" Nickel shipped April 1914. Left the factory in nickel and has been re-nickeled somewhere along the way. Great shooter, original grips long gone so these old stags are perfect for her. The holster is built in the style of an A.W. Brill. I got this gun from crsides, thanks Charlie!

There are some really great guns in this thread!

My oldest is a 1902 Navy .38 M&P. Not really pretty, but they got rough treatment.

It shipped in October 1902.

I shared a lot of pictures of this revolver on the forum at this link: http://smith-wessonforum.com/s-w-hand-ejectors-1896-1961/523784-38-m-p-model-1902-u-s-navy-no-25188-a.html#post139620691



The runner-up (Honorable Mention) in my collection is my .44 HE 1st Model, S/N 15. It shipped January 25, 1909.

We discussed it at length here: S&W .44 Hand Ejector 1st Model #15

I really wish I had something like an excellent condition Schofield to report.

M&P

Mid 50's M&P .38 spec. Bad refin, wrong grips but a superb shooter none the less!

Wiregrass, as you know my 1902 should have a 6.5in barrel on it and currently wears a 6in from a 1905 fourth change. It does have the proper sn# and diamond under the ejector rod. Sorry about the picture quality.


@dwh --> Post a picture of the underside of the barrel where the extractor rod docks.[/QUOTE]

My oldest hand ejector dates from 1904, and I inherited it from my paternal grandfather. It will be 117 years old this year. It's seen very heavy use.



My oldest "collector grade" hand ejector is this pristine example from 1924. It will be only 97 years old this year. Virtually untouched .

John - That really is a "time machine" gun! When you go back sometime to pick up another one, please let me know as I would like to ride along.

Here's my oldest. A 1905, M&P, 3rd change (.38 special) which dates to around 1911. The nickel appears to be a non-factory re-do, but was nicely done. Every rollmark and stamping is sharp and clear. The genuine MOP stocks are aftermarket. The 6 1/2" barrel must have been a leftover from the 2nd change. All the numbers match on the barrel, frame, cylinder, yoke and ejector. I do shoot it on occasion. It does attract attention at the range fom the younger shooters with their plastic fantastic. It reminds me of something Al Capone might have liked.

.22 Hand Ejector First Model

This thread is an interesting concept, as I never actually thought of what hand ejector I own that shipped first.

Mine is a new entrant to the field, as I believe mine will be the 55th post, and no one has claimed their oldest hand ejector is a larger than life model, this one being my .22 Hand Ejector First Model that shipped 18 December 1902.

 

[Babysitr]

Here are my two,both 1905 4th. Change...nickel from 1921...blue target letters from 1924...both all orig, including pencil numbered grips.....

.44 Target #7133* shipped September 26, 1912 to M. W. Robinson, New York City. It was returned to S&W for re-blue in June 1936 by George Cole of Scottsville, KS. (photo by Lee).

.455 Military #12742 probably one of 325 "leftover parts guns" shipped to Shapleigh Hardware, St. Louis MO December 29, 1917. It got a nice nickel refin somewhere along the way, and DWFAN cleaned up the stocks. Phoenix gun show find in January 2014.

.44 Military #13823 shipped November 14, 1916 to El Paso TX. I think the frame was manufactured in 1914 but lingered in inventory for a while. Found in the Phoenix Backpage classified ads in June 2016. Pretty crusty when I got it but it cleaned up nice and is a reliable shooter and crowd pleaser.

Also have (no pics) a garden variety .38 Safety Hammerless 4th Model 3-1/4" nickel shooter with original hard rubber grips, in good shooter condition, shipped January 1900. 121 years old and still as functional as the day it was built.

38 M & P 2nd Model, made 1903. I purchased this a a gift for my boy Amos. It was to be his first firearm. Collectable no, but to me it will always be my most cherished S & W.

[bruce5781]
