Description:
1880s mfr. Antique SMITH & WESSON .44 Double Action “FRONTIER” .44 RUSSIAN
Nickel & Blue Finish
Here we present an antique Smith & Wesson First Model Revolver in .44 Russian, also known as the .44 Double Action Frontier, made circa the 1880s-90s in Springfield, Massachusetts.
These large revolvers featured the top-break ejection system. The revolver could be fired in double or single action. John Wesley Hardin was carrying a .44 S&W Frontier when he was killed in the Acme Saloon by Constable John Selman in El Paso in 1895. Ironically, when Selman was killed a year later by George Scarborough, also in El Paso, and he was packing a .44 New Model.
The overall condition is very good. Original nickel finish with blued trigger guard and case colored trigger with patina throughout. The action is excellent in both double and single action modes. Tight lockup. The bore is reflective with strong rifling; there is a very slight ring about an inch from the forcing cone. The left grip has some old cracks. Numbers match. This one has been stamped with “W.F. & Co. Ex.” on the left side of the barrel lug as well as the number “78” on the frame above the trigger on the same side. The back strap of the grip has been hand engraved long ago with “WELLS FARGO & CO”.
