Manufactured in 1956. Matching serial numbers on the butt, cylinder, ejector shroud and right grip panel. The original gold box has a partial factory Model 1950 label and includes the warranty card.

Excellent, retaining 99% original blue finish with very faint muzzle edge wear and right tip, and a light cylinder drag line. 99% plus original case colors remain on the hammer and trigger. The grips are also excellent with minimal handling marks and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The box is fine with a couple strips of tape on the lid, couple handwritten markings and some minor wear. An outstanding 1950 Model .44 Special!
