According to the Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson book, this .44 Magnum Pre-Model 29 revolver was produced in circa 1956-1957. This revolver comes in the factory original black pebble grain leatherette presentation case with blue satin lining that includes the original (unused) screwdriver, cleaning rod with brass brush and cotton swab. SPECS: DA/SA trigger, 5-screw N-frame, polished blued finish, 6.5 ribbed barrel with half-lug & shrouded extractor rod, adjustable micro-meter rear sight pinned to the channel, Patridge front sight with orange insert, grooved front & rear straps, .500 grooved casehardened target trigger, .500 casehardened target hammer with checkering, diamond checkered Goncalo Alves flat butt grips and 6-shot swing-out cylinder. CONDITION: This revolver is in nice condition with some light wear & bluing fade at the muzzle, has an excellent sharp/ clean bore and appears to be in good working order. HISTORY: The Smith & Wesson large N-frame .44 Magnum revolver was introduced in January of 1956. The Model 29 designation was applied in 1957. Approximately 6500 early models sported a 5-screw frame. The updated 4-screw model with an eliminated top side plate screw began to ship in 1957. Early models also shipped with a presentation case equipped with cleaning tools. From the beginning the Model 29 was very popular among law enforcement personnel and hunters. In 1971, Clint Eastwood made the model 29 famous around the world as "the most powerful handgun in the world" in the movie Dirty Harry. After the release of the movie and its sequels, retailers had difficulty keeping the Model 29 in stock. In the late 1990s, Smith & Wesson discontinued production of many models of revolvers, including the "basic" Model 29 apart from limited production runs or "custom" configurations. Today, the Model 29 is being offered again as a powerful deluxe grade revolver as part of Smith & Wesson's Classic Revolvers Line. SHIPPING - We offer free shipping anywhere within the continental US. All firearms must be sent to an FFL (or C&R if applicable) regardless of age or caliber. This includes antiques & muzzleloaders. PLEASE READ ALL TERMS BEFORE PARTICIPATING: There is no live crowd, no phone bidding, no left bids and we do not accept payment through the mail.
