All frames for this model were manufactured pre-1899, but finished revolvers were shipped as late as 1913. It has the 1 9/16 inch cylinder to accommodate the .44 WCF cartridge. Matching serial numbers are on the butt, right grip panel, cylinder, barrel and barrel latch.

Excellent, retaining nearly 97% original high polished blue finish with thinning and high edge wear on the balance. Nearly all original case colors remain on the hammer and trigger. The grips are also excellent with crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. A high condition .44 DA Frontier revolver that is worthy of any S&W collection.
