Mine is my all-time favorite sixgun. I left it with John Gallagher two weeks ago along with a steel OA gripframe to be fitted to it. Can't wait to get it back!

Nice find, Rob. The 7.5" Flattop is one of the all time great handguns IMO.

Robb--I have a 44 flat-top that looks just like yours. It appears that yours even has a filed-down front sight like mine. I read somewhere that the 7 1/2" barreled 44s are somewhat rare, with less than 1000 being made.
