Smith & Wesson .44 Double Action Frontier Revolver with Pearl Grips

In an included 1993 fax from Roy Jinks states that this revolver was shipped to Marcus Hartley & Co. of New York, NY on November 1, 1902 and was a "standard order" gun. The included hand written letter states that this revolver was owned by "Hopalong Cassidy" the fictional character from novels, radio, TV, and film. This is likely meant to mean that it was owned by Clarence E. Mulford the writer of the novels, or William Boyd the actor who portrayed Cassidy in some 66 films and 52 episodes of the television series. The letter also states that the revolver was originally purchased by a New York judge, no information is available at this time to confirm this. Standard S&W markings with matching serial number on the barrel latch, barrel, cylinder, and butt. Provenance: The John Fox Collection

ConditionExcellent overall, retaining 95% original blue, light handling evidence, some thinning on the barrel, partial cylinder drag lines, and most of the loss on the barrel rib. Mechanically excellent. Definitely a gun worthy of a New York Judge and Hollywood actor!
