The only 44 Magnum purchased from the auction in 2001 is N629187. I think S&W was giving S&WCA members first shot at buying these guns. Any that did not sell were most likely sold through regular channels.

A dead seal is at the feet of the polar bear. Alvin White inlaid with gold and silver wire. Silver tarnishes over time. I little Wenol on a Q-tip takes care of it.

Why is a rhino not appropriate? Just curious as I have 44 Magnums with an elk, a moose, a grizzly, a wolverine, a Narwhal, or a Bengal tiger on their side plates and other animals located elsewhere on their frame (lynx, rattle snake, deer, quail).
