I’m on a roll! 2nd Model 44 Hand Ejector 5”

[gjamison]

The Dixie Gun & Knife Show at the North Carolina Fairground never disappoints. We like going on Sundays because you can take your time and really look. When I found this sitting on a table I was shocked honestly, in all my years of gun shows I've never seen a 5" .44 special and I got it for a great price.

This gun is all original except the stocks, it has this wonderful brown patina. The gun will be completely disassembled and cleaned. I'm on the lookout for N frame service stocks, gold medallion or all wood.

I like the way all the fitters put their mark in a little circle around the grip pin.

Hello George, great snag on a used and carried ole girl. The side plate seam appears to be pristine. A good ole loved 44. Congrats.

Very nice, love those that show a little use. Here's mine, looks like it might have travelled some of the same roads as yours.

Yours and mine could be twins.

Good pick up, gjamison.

Here's my lightly handled example that shipped in 1927.

Is your serial number close to mine?

 

[bill-in-texas]

Is your serial number close to mine?

I would say, "in the ball park" close.

Close enough, thank you.

OK Bill. Just make everyone jealous. That's a beauty. Nice piece of Circassian walnut.

Mine was built on a leftover 1917 frame.

Here is mine from June 1926. Went to a deputy sheriff in the Texas Panhandle. Ordered without the butt swivel.

Guess I'll have to show off mine again. The scratched-up one is from 1930, the bottom one is from 1927.

BTW: the letter for the bottom gun says it originally came with "checkered silver medallion square butt grips". I think the gold medallion grips on mine originally came on a triple-lock. I'm into trading gold for silver.

 

[gjamison]

Beautiful iron y'all!

I really should letter mine. It's in "loved" but not abused condition too. Stocks are not original, they're numbered to another gun. And the front it was wearing when it came to me was a very cool King blade with a white insert, unfortunately it was way too low and the gun shot 16" high at 25 yards so I made a replacement on my lunch break on day.

Good for you.
Your gun shipped with non-medallion grips.
