The 44 Magnum is "open on the books" of S&W. Most likely, the gun was given or shipped to White with instructions, but no documentation was created.

Bill, I have a 44 Magnum (pre-29), 4 screw, 4" Nickel with no record of ever being shipped from the factory. Salesman's gun ? Was it used at a show ? Was it just overlooked or was there a human error in entry of the number ? Who knows.
