Smith & Wesson Pre-Model 29 .44 Magnum Double Action Revolver with Case and Factory Letter

Manufactured in 1956-1957. The included factory letter lists this revolver as having a 6 1/2 inch barrel with blue finish and Goncalo Alves target grips when shipped to Graves Humphrey Co. in Roanoke, Virginia on November 2, 1961. The letter notes further that the revolver was shipped late for its serial number. The included correspondence from S&W historian Roy Jinks states that this revolver was shipped so late because it was on an advertising account to an unknown party. Includes a S&W monogram case and cleaning tools. The most recent research shows this revolver, as documented by the S&W Historical Foundation, to be the latest known shipped (1961) five-screw .44 Magnum.

ConditionExcellent overall, retaining 97% plus original blue finish with some light handling marks, leading edge wear, a light cylinder drag line, and crisp grip checkering. Mechanically excellent. Case is very fine.
