Dan,
100 might be a real ambitious number, but here goes: It's a .455 First Model from 1914.

Run-of-the-mill .44 HE 1st Model, serial# 3682, shipped November 8, 1909, to Birmingham Arms and Hardware, Birmingham, AL.
It left the factory as a blued 6.5" gun, but has been nickled and had the barrel cut back.

Just one. A .44 wearing S&W repro grips.

I only own one, 1914. The nickel finish was in bad shape, so I had it redone by Ford's.
Notice the perfect balance. LOL

Gotta love a New Century....

This one was restored by Gene Williams:

The poor thing had been chrome plated in a bumper shop at some point in time and had trigger/hammer gold plated...

Add plastic mother of pearl grips... and ... it was downright embarrassing.

In short it had been turned into a real pimp gun... After Gene worked his magic is is a thing of beauty again.

Oh, BTW, the gun now wears correct gold medallion service grips.

FWIW

CHuck

Here's one enscribed to a British Doctor in the 9th Field Ambulance attached to the Guards Division, WW1. He was Mentioned in Despatches and was awarded the Military Cross for his service in France.

I got a couple. The blue one left S&W 11/2/1915 and was factory refinished in July, 1945. The other one has had a tougher life.

Here's mine, a .44 Special shipped in 1910:

 

[feralmerril]

Here is mine. It was sent to the factory and the sights were installed in 1949. It is # 4591.
It was sent to american tradeing co. New York, New york oct 6, 1910. I bought it in 1972 for I think $175. A deputy owned it before me. I once shot it once off the bench against a 29, and 2 or 3 other .44 specials I own and it outshot all them includeding a like brand new pre 1950 or 24 target I have.
Just a painfull note, before I bought this one when I was dumb I turned down a triplelock in .45 colt that still looked new coated in grease! I wanted elmers .44 special! I didnt know then that there were only about 15 in .45 colt made!

This is one of the guns that Supica mentions in his book. After production had ceased on the 1st Model several hundred (like 340 or something like that) were assembled using left over guns and parts from the British 455 order. They were converted to 45 Colt for the American market (some suspect a factory conversion but Roy has no knowledge one way or the other) and the entire lot was shipped late (like the 29th) in December of 1917 to Shapleigh Hardware in St. Louis, a major S&W distributer at the time.

This one has been poorly reblued and has the wrong stocks but it shoots fine and I figured it was worth the $295 I paid for it on GunBroker a couple years back.
