The S&W .44 Hand Ejector Third Model revolver is also known as the "Wolf & Klar Model" due to the famed Texas retailer requesting a shrouded extractor barrel to be reintroduced. This example was shipped to Wolf & Klar and received a retailer engraving and modifications fit for a flamboyant Texan. The accompanying factory letter states the revolver was shipped on July 31, 1931 and delivered to Wolf & Klar of Fort Worth, Texas, with a 4 inch barrel, nickel finish, and checkered walnut grips. This shipment was for 42 guns with nickel finish and 3 guns with blue finish, all units had a 4 inch barrel. The engraving, carved pearl grips, and cut-way trigger guard similar to that on FitzGerald modified revolvers were period retailer additions, likely by Wolf & Klar. The engraving is near full coverage, consisting of floral scrollwork and blossoms. The grips feature a jeweled eyed relief carved steer head on the right grip panel. The floral tooled open top/open toe holster was made by Bedell Rogers of Longview, Texas. The belt loop is hand marked "FEDERAL/6-5427/H.R. MARTIN./BOX 587/LIBERTY/TEXAS/77575." The City of Liberty's website confirms H.R. "Bob" Martin (1895-1964) was "a longtime law enforcement officer" and served as chief of the city's volunteer fire department from 1925 to 1955. He was Liberty's first fire chief when the fire department was created in 1925 after a fire destroyed several downtown businesses.

Very fine with period modifications/embellishments, retaining most of the frosted replated nickel finish with high edge wear. The grips are very fine with slight chipping, crisp carving, and fiery colors. Mechanically excellent. The holster is fine.
