Description:
UNALTERED .455 HAND EJECTOR 2ND. MODEL, BRITISH PROOFED FOR WORLD WAR I, #59XXX. These were a special run of commercial 2nd. Model Hand Ejectors for the British government from 1915-1917. Most found today have been altered to fire the .45 Colt or .45 Auto Rim cartridge and are easy to spot as the rear face of the cylinder has been ground down and no longer displays the serial number. This example is still in the original .455 caliber and shows all the correct British proofs on the barrrel, frame and by each chamber of the cylinder. Also, it has the correct tiny stamping "NOT ENGLISH MAKE" on the barrel and frame. Many of these saw hard use in the trenches and are found in poor condition or refinished. This example shows fine deep original blue with wear mainly to the forward portion of the barrel sides, top strap and some light thinning on the back strap. The front sight has not been altered and it has the correct barrel markings with the last patent date of 1906. Good case color on the hammer and trigger showing a little wear. Correct diamond checkered grips with deep-dish gold S&W medallions fit perfectly and show only normal light wear. Lanyard ring in butt intact, matching numbers on the frame, barrel and cylinder. Action is extremely tight with almost no cylinder play. Bore is minty. A fine piece of World War I history!
