Sorry for the lack of photos.
Here we are, still unpacking from our move last december
(yeah, i know, a year! We have too much preacious crap and mrs marvel refuses to part with ANYTHING!!! )
I have too many devices with stuff on different ones,
Still unpacking,
Getting ready for holidays and shoving boxes in a room i can close the door on
And mrs marvel is revocering from total knee replacement ….
So my new hobby is getting sleep….
Regarding photos…
My smith 2nd model hand ejector is the spitting image of Jacks,
serial puts it at 1904, originally chambered & proofed for .455 webley
Rechambered and marked for .45 acp, and reproofed and marked
Bluing is pretty darn good, but the grips are nearly shot
My 1937 brazilian i got cheap because it was in need of refinish, but guts are good.
Basically looks like all of them, except a slow rust blue refinish continues as i find a few minutes.
Grips are also pretty bad and shrunk.
I got the 1904 first, then became so enamored with the .45 N frame I shopped for a brazilian in the “after christmas lull”
When people looked at the bills comong in and stopped buying …
I have so many parts, ie 4 barrels , original used and unused barrels, a s&w .45 1955 barrel , 3 excellent
1917 .45 acp cylinders, piles of guts and
including a “parts kit” with a 3.5 inch heavy custom barrel, target hammer & trigger, and guts…
So I plan to leave the 1904 alone and play with the brazillian, all the while setting up my old 6” model 28
With a 3” and 4” barrels, fitting them all and setting up a smith “switch barrel”.
Not real easy, but not real hard if you have memorized your Kunnhausen , and done enough smiths , and dont
Plan to change them out as often as a Dan Wesson lol….
