Smile Birthday 44 Magnum

Today is my 65th birthday and today is the 53rd birthday of S130705 that was shipped on July 26, 1956. This 44 Magnum has the lowest known serial number for this model. I would like to thank Chuck (29-1) for sending me this unique 44 Magnum several years ago. It is not often you find your favorite model that was also shipped on your birthday.

Bill

Happy birthday, Bill!
Since you and I share the same birthday, I'll post this old .44 Magnum from July 26th, 1957.
Obviously, the gun's celebrated a lot fewer birthdays that I have ! (:>).

Enjoy...you're still a young whippersnapper.
