I was at the Army Heritage museum.
I'm guessing the .44 I had a chance to examine would be second model?
Notches, blade front-sight with a round shaft Long web & no cutout for the reload lever.
The nut for the cross bolt holding the grip panels on was different as well it had 2 little tabs (wings) I guess to prevent it turning when the bolt was tightened?
