Manufactured from 1907 to 1915 within the serial number range 1 to 15375. This revolver is the .44 Hand Ejector with the very desirable triple lock mechanism. The revolver is equipped with a fixed blade front and frame rear notch sights. It has the desirable 6 1/2 inch barrel, smooth grip straps, checkered hammer, checkered cylinder latch and smooth trigger. The barrel is marked with the two-line address/patent date marking on the top flanked by Maltese crosses and "44 S&W SPECIAL CTG" on the left side. The S&W trademark is stamped on the right side plate of the 5-screw frame. The cylinder, barrel and frame have matching serial numbers "500", and the frame and crane have matching assembly numbers "3622". Casehardened hammer and trigger and fitted with checkered diamond pattern walnut grips with a square butt.

Very good with 80% of the original blue finish remaining, handling marks throughout, light spotting, edge and high point wear, and some smooth mottled gray/brown patina mostly on the grip straps. The cylinder shows a drag line. The grips are very good with well-defined checkering, minor handling marks, and a few light dings. Mechanically excellent.
