Older N-Frame Hammer & Trigger

[Messer]

In looking through a "Box-O-Stuff" I acquired from another shooter, I found this...

As noted, it's the std., non-target version. Still has very nice case color, and what looks like "crud" is just dried on grease.

My question is, is there a way to tell what time frame these came from?

Value?

Any help is appreciated.

Well, it's a "short action" trigger....so those came out around 1948, replacing the long actions that were around since the turn of the century.

To me it does look like it has a target spur, but I could be wrong.

So the best I can do is somewhere between 1948 and about the mid 1990s when the hammer-mounted firing pin was phased out.

Thanks Smithra!

It looks too small for Target hammer spur but I've been wrong before. Pete

Standard hammer and trigger. The shadow in the photo makes the hammer spur look longer than it really is.
