S&W 2nd Model Russian, 44 Russian
Description: Smith & Wession top break Russian model 2 in .44 Rusian. Mechanically in good condition, action functions well. Slight side wobble when trigger pulled. The Latch posts above the hammer did not hold tight enough so I had a gunsmith TIG weld a dot of metal on the back of each, then hand fitted for tight latching. The extractor lifts but doesn't release, I may have a part improperly installed or the stop buttom on the frame bottom is too worn. I found a new-made barrrel hinge screw and rear side plate screw. The barrel has the usual patent dates followed by "Russian Model." I am not knowlegdable about the model variations on these, any info would be appreciated. It does have the small retaining screw on top of the frame as opposed to the large head type. Grips seem original and are well worn. The (SN?) number 50667 is on the inside of the right grip. The number on tht bottom of the grip frame is covered.I think the swivel is not correct. Now: the grip frame decoration is silver (shame there's a missing piece) and a couple of dealers at a show thought this was Russian work. New photos shwo dark tinting and gold color in the engraving. No blue finish at all, brown/gray patina over all. The rear of the side plate has pitting (I've seen this on pictures of other guns.) The bore has quite a lot of pitted areas but still decent rifling. I have fired a few black powder rounds, fun! Feel free to email questions or info.
