Thanks, "Hair Trigger". I think you are right. I have a 4" Model 57 that came in one of these presentation cases. The blue flocking came off and got impregnated into the grips. I got about 98% of it off, but there is still some buried in the cracks and pores of the wood. So after that, I never stored them in the presentation box. I just use those presentation boxes now for showing off. Ha, ha. Reference the Model 29, mine is a 29-3 in 8 3/8". Thanks again.
