This is a very interesting model from a collector's point of view. Phillip B. Bekeart, a San Francisco firearms dealer, requested that S&W manufacture a .22-caliber target-grade revolver on the heavier .32 frame. He believed in his idea so passionately, that he immediately ordered 1,000 guns for himself. This initial order is found within serial number range 1 to 3000 and are known to collectors as the authentic Bekearts. Remainder of the extensive production run are simply .22-32 Hand Ejectors. Chambered for .22 LR cartridge and a 6-shot fluted cylinder, with 6" barrel. Finish blue, with square butt and checkered extension-type walnut grips. There were only 292 revolvers of his initial order delivered to Mr. Bekeart, but the first 1,000 pistols are considered to be True Bekearts. Production number of each respective pistol is stamped into the base of the extended wooden grips. S&W went on to manufacture several hundred thousand of these revolvers between 1911 and 1953.
