The Sheriff's Models had shorter barrels and were made without ejectors, and NO hump on the frame. If the frame has the hump with the hole through it, it's not an original Sheriff's Model. Or, am I misunderstanding your question? I'm not familiar with a bull barrel or sharp frame. There were photos and discussion in a recent thread of a 7 1/2" bbl. SAA without ejector, or provision for one. There were some doubts as to it's originality. But, even if correct, I don't think it would be termed a "Sheriff's Model".

Grayman, I thought Cochran was very knowledgeable on Colts, but I don't have one of his books. I never heard the term "sharp frame" and can only assume a "bull barrel" is some form of heavier barrel. Maybe he has seen such a thing. And, I guess it's possible Colt shipped an ejectorless Sheriff's Model with standard frame and the hole not drilled out for ejector rod. But, I've never heard of, or seen one.
