Description:
WORLD WAR I UNALTERED S&W .455 MARK II HAND EJECTOR 2nd MODEL, SCARCE CANADIAN ISSUE, #30XXX, MADE 1915-1917. As serial numbers for this model began in the 5000 to 6000 range and continued to 74755, this one was probably made in 1915 or 1916. Of these big N frame revolvers in .455 caliber 59150 were manufactured for English service and only 14,500 for the Canadian service. Many, if not most, of these were converted to .45 Colt or .45 Auto Rim (easily identified by having the back of the cylinder ground down and not showing the serial number... or just insert a .45 Colt or Auto Rim cartridge which will not chamber), this one is not altered. The Canadian models lack the British proofs especially in each cylinder flute etc. and are not marked "NOT ENGLISH MADE" etc. This is a very fine example that retains most of the original blue and shows only some normal very light holster wear on the barrel sides and no more than slight thinning on the bottom of the trigger guard and back strap (still retains almost all the blue in these areas). Even the cylinder face retains all the blue indicating that this one was rarely if ever fired. Nice case colors on the hammer sides and duller colors on the trigger. Exc. sharp diamond checkered walnut grips with deep dish medallions that fit perfectly. Lanyard swivel in butt intact. Matching serial numbers, tight action and minty bright bore. A very fine historical Canadian issue S&W from The Great War.
