Vaughn, I agree with Bill. I have never seen one before. This looks like it could qualify for another article in our Digest sometime? Great find and thanks for all you provided for our Digest. ;) Brass Frame/Lee

Awesome gun!!!
Saw the regular 44R model, serial number D127766 at the Des Moines gun show last June. There are a few of those around, but first one I've ever seen laying on a dealer's table at this show.
