All frames of the .44 Double Action First Model Revolver were manufactured between 1881 and 1898, but this model was listed in the company catalogs and sold up until 1913. This example has the desirable 4 inch barrel, the shortest barrel length S&W offered on this model. The revolver has the two-line S&W barrel rib legend, pearl grips, and matching serial numbers on the butt, cylinder, barrel, and barrel latch.

Fine, retaining 70% original nickel plating. 60% original blue finish remains on the trigger guard. The hammer and trigger guard retain 85% original case colors. The grips are also very fine with a filled chip and the heel (left panel) and highly attractive fiery colors.
