The S&W .44 Hand Ejector Third Model revolver is also known as the "Wolf & Klar Model" due to the famed Texas retailer requesting a shrouded extractor barrel to be reintroduced. This example shows the typical Wolf & Klar retailer engraving and modifications, fit for a Texas lawman. This specific revolver includes documentation attributing it to a Texas county sheriff. An included signed affidavit states that the revolver and holster were purchased from Jack Sturman of Tulia, Texas, the county seat of Swisher County. Sturman owned the J&G Department store in Tulia and stated that he had bought the gun and holster from the family of Swisher County Sheriff John C. Moseley. Moseley was sheriff of Swisher County from 6 November 1928 until killed in the line of duty on 23 January 1933. The affidavit incorrectly lists the serial number as "30674", but includes pictures, which undoubtedly show this revolver and holster. Local newspapers from the period are filled with articles covering the gunfight with three outlaws in which Sheriff Moseley was killed. Moseley had pursued the outlaws in a brief car chase to a filling station where a gunfight broke out, ending with the sheriff being shot and killed at close range. The revolver shows the typical Wolf & Klar retailer pattern zig-zag line engraving which forms floral and geometric patterns encompassing most of the surfaces. The left of the barrel has the manufacturer marking while the right has the caliber marking. The Smith & Wesson trademark is on the left of the frame while "MADE IN U.S.A." is on the right. There is a registered patent mark on the rear surface of the hammer. Matching assembly numbers, "83817", are on the frame and crane. The matching serial number is on the butt, rear of the cylinder, and in the ejector rod shroud. It is fitted with a blade front sight and frame top groove rear sight. It is also fitted with, likely by Wolf & Klar at the time of engraving, a pair of pearl grips with a relief carved steer head on the right panel which is fitted with red glass bead eyes. Includes an attractively floral tooled leather holster by S.D. Myres of El Paso, Texas, which is marked "44/4" on the back along with the maker's mark.
