Welcome to the forum.

I think it's safe to say early to mid 1920's as a reasonable estimate. Roy Jinks is the official S&W historian, and can provide a 'factory letter' on the gun with details such as the actual ship date - as well as to whom it was shipped.

We'd love to hear more about your gun. Feel free to post pics. We're pretty fond of old .44's around here....
