I found this old S&W Model 1899 Hand-Ejector in .32 S&W long today. I gave $75.00 for it.
The nickle finish is worn some but it's tight and has a great bore. I figured why not as I have plenty of .32 long for it and it will go with my small framed Colt Police Positive of the same caliber. Attached File |

We never see deals like that in central VA. Well to be fair it would not go into full cock and was missing the upper side plate screw. I had some screws from a old S&W top-break and one of them fit it perfectly and I noticed at the shop that the trigger guard took a ding. Come to find out when it took a ding it pushed the TG up just enough to where the rear of the trigger laid against it preventing it to go to full cock. I put it in a padded vise and took a long brass drift punch I made for something else and just tapped the TG from the inside till the trigger cleared it....It goes into full cock just fine now. 
It's not like it's a showpiece or anything but it should be a solid shooter. The .32 S&W long is a very accurate cartridge in these old revolvers if you get a solid one. Quoted:
Nice! Heres my hand ejector with a 4xxx serial. I traded a Jennings .380 for it. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/351019/IMG-2367-163614.jpg Those are worth a bit more than my H-E as they are from what is considered the "cowboy era" what with the earlier patent dates being on the cylinder. LOL...The rear sight arrangement is a bit different on those. |

lot of wear on those grips. that's gun's been busy. Come to find out those are not the proper stocks....They were from the 20s and the revolver was made around 1905. It just so happened that I had a pair of the proper black hard rubber stocks in my box-o-grips. LOL....I bet they have been in there for 20+ years...I don't even remember where I got them. 
Just goes to show that you never get shed of grips when you find them.
