That's not a Triple Lock, the infamous third locking feature should be visible from the right side and it is not. The shrouded ejector makes it a 3rd model Hand Ejector. It appears to be a rare pre-war target model which, according to the 3rd edition of the Standard Catalog of S&W, would be worth $2500 in excellent condition and the target variation brings a double to triple premium.

Beautiful old Smith, I'd love to have an early .44Spl!!!
