Smith & Wesson 44 Double Action First Model Cartridge Revolver, #9161, .44 S&W Russian CF cal., 5'' round barrel with full-length top rib marked in two lines ''Smith & Wesson Springfield, Mass. U.S.A.'' over 1865 through 1880 patent dates, scarce late-production 1-9/16'' length cylinder, S&W logo on right frame above juncture with grips, full blued finish, two-piece checkered black hard rubber grips having the circular S&W logo at top. Likely of early 20th century assembly, but considered antique as all frames were mfg'd 1898 or before. Condition is good as refinished over light pitting in places, retaining virtually all the blue with legible but softened markings as expected. Grips are very good, having sharp checkering and logo but with a piece missing from bottom of right grip. Action is smooth and sure; bore is shiny with sharp rifling. Est.: $650-$950. (Antique)
