I hate to do two consecutive OOOOFFFs but here's another one that came home with me last week. It's an old S&W 44 Hand Ejector (aka Triple Lock). It was an English or Canadian contract gun (had lanyard swivel on it when I got it) in 455. It has been converted to 45 Colt, my favorite caliber (darn the luck).

It came to me with the lanyard swivel and a set of 80's vintage factory magna grips. I promptly took the swivel off and put these custom Cloyce grips that I got from Robb Barnes off of the Ruger Forum back in November (I knew I'd find a gun to put them on!). I think it makes for a handsome classic sixgun.

Serial number is 828. An early one.

Thought you fellows would enjoy this one too.

Bet they feel great, too! I have a set as well. Really like them.

Very nice gun and nice combo with the stocks!

How's that? It IS nice!

Now that is the PERFECT home for the grips! Great looking set up Matt.

In my experience, the Canadian guns all had the broad arrow proof stamp. I think this is true with the 2nd HEs, but I'm not sure with TLs. All of the British lend-lease TLs were shipped back just piled loose into crates, and therefore exhibit an overall coverage of tiny little dings and scratches. Yours doesn't appear to have this, so if it is the original finish, as it appears to be, and there is no broad arrow proof, then it's a wild card, and that makes it even mo better.

love them grips. If your gun is anything like mine it shoots way low. I didn't file on the sight for fear of changing the looks so I hold front sight up in the notch.
Great gun. J.Michael

OOOFFF!!! from me, too!

grips and gun wonderful.
