They will be asking for a serial number and other markings.
Confused with my ‘Triple lock’
Hello all out there!
This War Horse was calling my name @ a local indoor range. An older woman had brought it to a local indoor range, placing it on consignment.
Thinking it might be a 2nd edition .44 Special. Serial #41783. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so very much. Always appreciate solid information.It's not a triplelock, it's a model of 1926 aka a 3rd model or a "Wolf & Klar".

Here's a little known fact (trivia) that is being forgotten in history........................
As we all know, the full underlug (ejector shroud) that graced the First Model (Triplelock), was eliminated on the Second Model (including 1917s). When the Third Model of 1937, commonly referred to as "Wolf & Klar" (named for a Texas Distributor) was produced, the ejector shroud was re-introduced and many of the old timers of the day erroneously called them "Triplelocks" because the underlug made them look like the First Model (albeit sans the 3rd locking device).
Those old timers are gone now but I remember as a kid, Pop (my Grand Dad) discussing that bit of gun lore/nostalgia over campfire conversations.........BTW, our campfire conversations oft times included various ranch hands (cowboys), couple of beat-up old rodeo riders and several retired southwestern lawmen......I was privileged to grow up around those folks (family and friends of Pop & Dad).....
