Yep, that's one of the early ones with the short hammer spur. They changed to the long spur somewhere between #'s 10351 & 11273.
Congrats on your cool find, that's a
in my book!
Thanks for sharing the

Ooooh very shiny! And at that price it can merit a nice LB grip.

Nice looking and nice buy! It doesn't look like much of a turn ring either - you got a good one!

Thanks guys ! Shroud is ported and barrel is not and the barrel nut
came off like butter. Must have held the door for the right person this
week 
.
Rear sight is white outline, kinda figured to see all black rear sight on an early
model, maybe someone changed it ?

That was a great deal on a nice looking specimen, for sure!
I read in the brochure that came with my 1979ish 15-2 that white outline sights were standard at that time, so would't the early guns have the white outlines more so than the later ones?
Your 44 is only a few hundred before the one I picked up in Dec.

All I can say is
cool find. If you had opened the door for me I might have found that 44 first.

Yes, the early guns had the white outline rear sights. I'm not sure when they switched them to non-outline sights, I guess that will be one more little thing to observe on gun auctions.
Blacktop, I'm glad there was no o-ring...it would suck to have that happen twice in a row.

I took a look back at yours when it had the 6V on it, looks
like my twin, but hey I would be the older brother so I get
to boss you around right
