I think its one of the very early 1896 or 1899 or whatever year Hand Ejectors, before they had the front lug lockup

yep... I think you're right... I guess now that I look at the drawing, I can see it's a swing out cylinder... just glancing at it earlier I didn't see the lines & thought it a solid frame like that Young American, & I don't recall S&W ever making one like that... the unique rear sight would seem to confirm that is a match
BTW... I don't see a cylinder latch button... how did the cylinder swing out???

I have a bunch of old Ruger ads, but I haven't taken pics of them to post.

I love looking at all the old adds. We don't seem them like that anymore.
