SMITH & WESSON 44 DA FIRST MODEL REVOLVER.

SMITH & WESSON 44 DA FIRST MODEL REVOLVER. SN 52107. Cal .44 Russian. Nickel finish with 6″ keyhole shaped bbl, pinned steel half moon front sight, with company name and address and patent numbers on top of the rib and caliber marking on left side. It has usual 6-shot cyl with double cyl stop notches and is mounted with deep gold medallion smooth pearl grips. Although this revolver was produced in fairly high numbers (53,590) due to their quick acceptance and continued use on the American frontier and in the Northwest Territories and under generally harsh conditions with limited or no maintenance, they are rarely found in orig configuration and high condition. There are numerous recorded instances of outlaws and lawmen using this model for whatever purposes, including notorious gang leader Belle Starr and fast draw artist and gunfighter John Wesley Hardin. CONDITION: Very fine to extremely fine, all matching including bbl, bbl latch and cyl. Grips are not numbered. Overall retains about all of its strong, bright factory nickel finish with a few minor light nicks and scratches and some dulling to the front and backstraps. Trigger guard retains about 80% of its orig blue. Hammer retains virtually all of its brilliant orig case colors and trigger retains faded case colors on the face, strong on the sides. Mechanics are crisp. Very bright, shiny bore. 4-39285 JR403 (3,000-4,000)
