more information

i have some more information about the model 91, 3rd model that might be a help in finding what i need. it was a take off from a s&w 38 top-break revolver and some of the internal parts might interchange. I will post a picture, if you have ever look into one of these maybe you can give me some direction. it looks like it is missing the paul or arm and the hammer lift or sear, if you are familiar with these i could use some help or a picture of a complete one. thanks in advancehttps://smith-wessonforum.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=667550&stc=1&d=1707713426

This is a bit beyond my knowledge, but I believe the guts of the 3rd Model SS are the same as the Model 1905(?) Hand Ejector. I hope someone can verify the information. Parts should be available through Gun Parts Corp., Jack First or check eBay.
 
Your post threw me off since there is only one model called Model of 1891. The first model single shot pistol with perhaps one of the most sought after hammers in the whole model line. Your revolver is the Third Model or Perfected Single Shot. Any early I frame hammer will fit the gun since the frame and internals are from a Model 1903. You do not need a hand since there is no cylinder to rotate. The pistol you have should function with the parts I see.

thanks everyone for the clarification{s}, the information has helped immensely, i will proceed to run this part down. anyone else with more input will be greatly appreciated, thanks
 
thanks again to everyone who shared their knowledge especially glowe who identified the model. thought i would let you know that there is still a hammer in captivity at a place called outback gun parts in Indiana, very helpful staff, i will highly recommend them to anyone on the hunt for parts
