Welcome! You likely have a late prewar model named...the .357 Magnum. These started production in 1935 and could be linked to its original owner by paperwork and was named the Registered Magnum. Yours likely dates to 1939. If your gun does not have REG with four digits after it on the frame under where the barrel threads in, many refer to it as a "non-Registered Magnum". Many of these went to law enforcement agencies, Kansas City PD being one of them.

These are highly sought after collector's items, and the NRMs are actually less common than the RMs. We really need (want ) photos to give you more information on it.

A letter of authenticity would be a great idea for this one; the second link is for a Historical Foundation letter, and there is probably more information about it than the standard letter would provide:

Smith & Wesson Historical Foundation - Letter Process - Insuring that the rich history of Smith & Wesson will continue for generations to come

Hope this is helpful.

You may have a "Registered Magnum", the Pre-War model, dating to maybe around 1939. Is there any other letter prefix on the S/N? The B on the barrel flat would indicate a blued gun. It might be located far to the side of the #. When you open the cylinder is there a "Reg ###" stamped on the frame behind the yoke? The "star" (*) would indicate a return to the factory for some work, possibly a rebarrel or reblue or some other work. We need pictures to determine just what you might have. The Registerd Magnum was the Premier S&W and has considerable value. Look on the back side of the right hand grip panel and see if the same number as the grip S/N is stamped there. Please post several clear close up pictures.

Is there a letter in front of the 6 on the butt? It could be far to the left.

Yes, a pre-war non-Registered Magnum. A major find!

The 947 in photo 3 is likely the month/year when the revolver went back to S & W and was stamped with the star. This indicated major work (including but not always a refinish) and was placed so the gun could not be re-sold as new. The SWHF document search mentioned above may even tell you what was done.

It is an N frame, square butt, plenty of stock (grip) options.

Rest assured it has been shot before. Perfectly fine to run a box or two of .38 Specials through it if you are curious, but don't be surprised if this leads to more .38s, then some .357s...

Well, yes. It could be very valuable. An absolute mint condition late 1930's 357 Magnum is high dollar.

Lets get really good pictures of your gun and you can get a better idea of value.

Condition, refinish, changes from original factory configuration, Factory grips all play a huge part of the value.

You unquestionably have a very nice old Smith 357 Magnum.

Your next step is to acquire a factory historical letter with copies of all the factory paper trail on the gun - who bought it, when where, and what the rework was all about, etc., from the Smith & Wesson Historical Foundation. That can double it's value, as is, as that would be it's birth certification ! There's a link on this Forum for the application forms & input info. to get the background history, etc. Ed.

You have a mighty fine magnum there. Even if refinished, which I am not sure of from the pictures, it is still quite valuable. They are very strong guns and you should not be afraid of shooting it on occasion.

Welcome to the forum and if you decide to do the research, please keep this thread updated. :-)

You might see if the aftermarket stocks have the correct stock screw. A nice set of original stocks would be about $500, but the fact they are 'the' stocks for the gun adds more than that to its value. This might be a good week to buy a lottery ticket .

OK a little history
My father passed away about a year ago and left me his weapons, slowly but surely I have been going thru them cleaning inspecting and shooting them. The Smith 357 looked just like a normal 357 to me so i didn't think much about it, I shot it, nice shooter nice and tight so I thought I would put some nice grips on it. The gun had some Fitz wood target grips on it that were a little rough. I tried to find a model number on the gun so I could determine what frame the gun has so I came to this forum and wow. After that I went on a search for the original grips, i happened to find in a cigar box full of stock grips. The gun most likely belonged to my grandfather as he worked part time at a gun store in the 50's and 60's, my dad and him were always bringing home surplus weapons and custom builds

Any other unknown gems you have in the collection? You don't have an M1911 made by the Singer sewing machine company, do you?

I'd treat that cigar box like a treasure chest if I were you, like murphydog mentioned, just old stocks can be worth a bundle.

Jackpot. . . .

Pre-War NRM with Baughman Ramp on King Base. It just almost doesn't get much better, and given its condition, I wonder if it was factory refinished at some point?

As Ed says, you have got to get the factory letter, AND the documentation from the SWHF.

Oh, and if your luck is running that good, best buy a lottery ticket also, even though it is almost you already had a winning ticket with this find!

Good show.

NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO, DO NOT ALTER THIS REVOLVER IN ANY WAY AT THIS POINT. NO GEE-WHIZ FINISHES, NO CORNER GUNSMITH TRIGGER JOB, NO NOTHING!!!! IT CAN ONLY HARM THE VALUE AT THIS POINT. Someone on this forum will be able to help you acquire an appropriate grip screw for the factory correct Magna grips. Post a WTB in that section.

rnetzley, FYI, The grips screw for your RM. stocks is the same grip screw as used in the pre-war .38/44 Heavy Duties and Outdoorsman revolvers as they all used the same N frame stocks. Ed.

Both could be worth substantial $$. It would be best if you provided some pictures and other information about those two. SN 619xx is definitely a non-registered magnum. I have numerous SNs very close to that on my list, all of which shipped in July and August 1940. I don't know exactly when the registration program was halted, but from those .357s I have listed, it seems to be somewhere around SN 600xx.

You shouldn't have much of a problem finding a grip screw. As previously stated, pre-war N-frame Magnas can be pricey.

I have 4-inch Non-RM serial# 61959 which shipped in July, 1940 as part of a large order (26 guns) to Kansas City, MO, Police Dept.
Your gun may have been part of this shipment.
Kansas PD guns were mostly shipped with the Baughman front ramp, and many of them were sent back to the factory for repair over their life on the beat as yours appears to have been based on the return date stamped in the grip frame.

This reminds me of the antique road show on TV where people found items in their attic or a garage sale that turned out to be worth vast amounts of money.

That's just the ones that make it onto the program, which is a small percentage of those who show up with their treasures. I went to an ARS event once. Most people bring stuff to it that is not much more than worthless junk.

JayCeeNC sounds like a good possibility my gun was part of that shipment in 1940 as part of a large order (26 guns) to Kansas City, MO, Police Dept. The serial on mine 61941, I am in the process of getting the letters, I should be able to confirm after that.
Thanks for the info

Welcome to the Smith & Wesson Forum from another Arizonan.
My first thought was it's probably a KCPD Non-Registered Magnum.
Great Family Heirloom.

If it's not too much to ask, there are probably more than a few of us wondering if you could post pics of the other interesting firearms you've inherited.

Welcome to the Forum.

Sorry you lost your dad, but he left you some real treasures.

Looking forward to seeing pictures of that Webley.

Welcome!

What a great find and I agree with glenwolde that your family has excellent taste in firearms!

I am also looking forward to hearing more about this revolver and the others in your collection.
