World's Largest Model 29
This was quite a conversation piece in Tulsa. A model of a 44 Magnum that weighs in at approximately 45 pounds. The barrel is just shy of sixteen inches.

Steel with a black oxide finish. The stocks are checked and made of wood (walnut??).

There are diamonds there. They are just a little hard to see in the picture.
You didn't really think Doc would have incorrect stocks did you? 
If they were wrong, he would probably have KB make him some that were correct.

I was thinking I would like little candy Model 27s on top of my 40th birthday cake in a few years. I think the 3.5" ones would balance better and be easier to eat.

Looks to be about 4X normal size, so would that make it about a 1.76 caliber? That would have a 30 mm cannon beat. If it actually functioned and somebody made a cannon shell for it, you'd have to strap it to a battleship (or at least a Hummer) to handle the recoil. Might be an effective anti-tank weapon. . .

16"bbl/6.5" = 2.5x scale. .429 x 2.5 = 1.07" bore

ah, a 44 that absorbs recoil well. too bad you carry it in a wheelbarrow instead of a holster.

Looks to me like the front sight has been replaced, you may have trouble finding an original.

You'd use up half a cow to holster that monster! I suspect that's the one blued gun that would make the cut at Dan M's next barbacue.
