The included factory letter confirms the current caliber, barrel length, and finish (grips not listed) when it was sold to W. A. Harvey Sporting Goods of Syracuse, NY, for a Robert W. Knight of Seneca Falls, NY, on April 28th, 1938. Matching serial number on the crane, yoke, and both grip panels. Knowledgeable correctors believe that about 3,500 of these Shooting Master revolvers were built, of which, only 94 were chambered for .44 Special. Includes an unlabelled replacement factory two-piece box. Provenance: The Milan J. Turk Collection

Excellent overall, retaining 99% original blue finish, minor handling evidence, faint cylinder drag line, and sharp checkering on the butt. The box is very fine with minor wear. Mechanically excellent.
