Early Smith & Wesson Double Actions

Sometimes things just happen! Several years ago a friend appeared at my door with a sixgun he wanted to show me. In fact, he was hoping I would want to buy it.

I'm a collector of S&W revolvers. Mostly mid 20th century Hand Ejectors, But I do have some pretty old stuff.

My only big bore Break Top. Uberti copy of the 1875 Schofield in .45 Colt. originals are a bit out of my price range.

After 1958 S&W went to numbered models. Yeah, I have a bunch of them too.

I have a S&W D.A. 45. Has "united states property" stamped on bottom of barrel under the very tall front sight. Has the flaming bomb on cylinder in front of hammer and on bottom of barrel over the ejector rod. I use the full circle clips and shoot it alot.I think my dad bought it thru the N.R.A. yearsssssssssssssssssss ago.
