I am selling two five screw, 44 Magnums from my collection. Description and pictures are below. I ship through my local dealer who uses insured USPS Priority Mail and includes a copy of their license in the package. First "I'll take it" posted to the ad gets the gun. PM with any questions. Payment via USPS money orders or certified check.
**Gone** Item #1 is a four inch 44 Magnum that shipped on November 6, 1956 to Sargent Sowell Co., in Grand Prarie, TX. This is one of 13 known four inch revolvers to ship the first year of production. I purchased this from Lee Jarrett last year. The revolver is in 96% condition with some muzzle wear, wear to the high spots of the frame and cylinder (probably due to some time in a holster), a few scattered freckles, and a few scratches on the sideplate. The revolver shows very well, but want to describe the condition accurately. Last year I found the correct pebble grain four inch presentation case and tools for this revolver, which are included in the sale. Also included is the factory letter confirming the barrel length, finish and shipping date. Interesting note documented in the factory letter is an in house repair before shipping that resulted in only three digits of the serial number being stamped on the face of the cylinder. The was probably the result of a quality check during the fitting process. Also, the grips were professionally restored. If I did not tell you, I doubt you would ever know, but want to provide full disclosure. The presentation case is in fair condition and there are no serial number markings on the bottom of the case. I am not a gunsmith, but have fired the revolver and did not experience any issues. The price is
now $2,750 shipped for the revolver without the case and tools or $3,150 shipped for everything, was $3,450 shipped.
**SOLD** Item #2 is a 6 1/2 inch five screw, 44 Magnum that shipped on November 2, 1961. This revolver was sent on loan from the factory to an advertising agency, then returned and sold in 1961. It is probably the last five screw 44 Magnum shipped from S&W (my speculation). The gun is in 98% condition and is truly beautiful. It comes in the later style presentation case (no serial number on the bottom), with the tools and factory letter confirming the configuration of the gun. Grips are in excellent condition, but do have a small chip on the bottom right panel. I am not a gunsmith, but the revolver appears to function properly (have not shot this gun). The price is $2,850 shipped.
