I found his Blog Hawg, thanks. Love his stuff. That is how I found out its a 1st model third variation, 1934. I found a matching cylinder/ejector star on Ebay that is stamped with the next sequential serial number to this pistol that is in excellent shape. Its on its way. The next biggest thing is the firing pin. Its part of the hammer, so I will either need to find a replacement hammer or get crafty with some tool steel.
Dixie, the gun is solid - even at the hinge joint. I checked that first to see if there was any slop at all in the hinge. Its tight, I feel lucky there.
I've kinda fallen in love with this gun. Thats kinda my weak point - as people bring in these older guns for help, I seem to be liking them all. So I guess I will be on the gun show prowl for an H&R 999 or 929. lol!!
I just wish I had gotten more involved in guns 25 years ago!
