Help with S&W Hand Ejector

[Engineer]

I have what I believe to be a S&W Hand Ejector 4th change in 38S&W. It is all matching serial numbers (including the grips). It has a broad arrow on the left side of the frame and seems tight, but is missing the hammer nose and the upper screw on the right hand side. What would it's value be as is vs with the nose and screw. Where can I get a replacement hammer nose and upper screw? Thanks in advance.

Nice Canadian Pre-Victory.

If no CGNer has the parts in a box at home, Numrich sells what you need.

Value? As always, subjective, but complete/original Canadian pre-Victory guns w/ the common 5" barrel seem to be going about $350. Drops from there, of course with replacement/missing bits.

The hammer nose and rivet should interchange with other S&W guns. PM me if you're still looking for one.

Thanks for the info.

I'd like to work on this myself, so I have lots of questions. I understand that the hammer nose is held in with a rivet. What are the installation steps (ie how is it installed; is it a press fit, peened over, two piece...)? Does the hammer need to be removed to install the nose or can it be done in place? Special tools?
