serial #S228098, 44 Magnum, 8 3/8” pinned heavy barrel with an excellent bore. The Model 29-1 is one of the rarest “44 Magnums” having been produced for less than a year before further engineering changes brought about the Model 29-2. Like the majority of the Model 29-1’s, this gun is equipped with a three-screw frame and remains in excellent condition showing light use. It is purported that less than 70 may exist with probably 20 in this barrel length. The metal surfaces retain about 98% original blue, most of the loss to high edge wear at the muzzle and a few light handling marks. The .500” target trigger and .500” target hammer retain bold case-hardened colors with minor operational wear. The diamond checkered goncalo alves factory target grips feature silver S&W medallions, extractor cut, and they remain in excellent condition. This gun features a red ramp front sight, white outline micro adjustable rear sight, recessed cylinder, and the cylinder is numbered to the gun which is unusual post 1957 although not unheard of. This revolver includes a factory mahogany presentation case, cleaning kit, manual, and paperwork. The interior and exterior of the case rate about excellent with minor storage marks. It also includes a factory letter that indicates this gun shipped as described with the presentation case on September 11, 1962, to Seattle Hardware Company in a two-gun shipment. As an aside, Seattle Hardware was billed $86.06 per gun, how times have changed. A fantastic opportunity to expand your collection with a seldom seen Model 29 variant. (8B11616-11) {C&R} (4000/6000)
