Sadly, I'm down to my one and only .44 Magnum. But I really like this one!
Below is the one I miss the most... bought in the '70s, sold in the '80s. Rats.
Sold the Ray-Ban Shooters too. Idiot.

Are you sure you have the correct photo? I may be wrong, but the lower gun looks like a model 25. Both are nice looking guns, BTW.

Tony is correct. The Mod 25-2, 6" I placed in that photo was in the bag marked Mod 29-2, 5 1/2" and I photographed it without checking further. You think I would have to have noticed the extra 1" of barrel or at least the front sight. To set things straight, below is the 5 1/2" 29-2 I intended to be in the photo.

I dropped in on the range today to try out the Pachmayr Gripper Professionals I recently acquired. Having small hands my M29 kept biting my trigger finger, now the blighter gives it to me where I guess it should...
I had installed the original stocks for pics but alas had to remove them to test the grippers and I had no intention of shooting it with the wooden stocks.

Found this one locally.
An Elmer Keith commemorative, but a P&R -2 instead of the regular -3 version.
Carving of Elmer is an outline rather than solid.
No Idea who did it or when.
Letter from S&W was no help at all.

Here is my pre 29, 5 inch, shooter .44 Magnum. It was back for work in 1963 and the barrel has a diamond stamp by the serial number (maybe cut or replaced by S&W who knows) and there is B diamond for refinish on the butt. Smith & Wesson should have made more 5 inchers.
and here is my early 629 with a pinned barrel and recessed cylinder serial number N 748677 with a little 32 Double Action

29 Classic with 5" barrel. The stocks are Hogue concalo alves. I'm not in love with them. They really don't fit too well on the back strap. I've been thinking of getting a pair of Cokes made. I think they would look nice on this gun. I don't see a whole lot of Classics with 5" barrels around these days.
The 629 has a 6 1/2" barrel. I thought about cleaning it off before I took it's picture to post but it gets shot so much it's really never clean so I figured I'd just leave it dirty. It gets shot more than any of my other hand guns except my competition guns. It is the most accurate large bore revolver I have ever owned and shoots well with just about any bullet from light lead to monster heavy jacketed bullets.

I had this 6.5" 29-2 for years. With the help of Gunhacker here for the presentation case. I gifted this to my oldest son on his 2nd tour from Iraq (we've done deployments together).

Unfortunately I can't. At the time I bought it here in Cape Town many years ago it was the only one available and there are no labels.

I have posted pictures of my .44's before, but what the heck, I'll put them up again:
29 no dash, likely shipped sometime in 1960 Serial # S200207. This is my favorite hiking gun, smooth as glass action and dead on accurate.
29-2 w/6 1/2" barrel, my "Dirty Harry" gun. Serial # N440319, still unfired after all these years. Not sure when it shipped, but probably in 1978 or so.
629-4 Classic DX. Made in 1995, I bought this on a whim and boy am I glad I did. This thing shoots like a rifle out to 100 yards and has become my favorite pig gun.

My 29-2 posted earlier in this thread.
Shipped Jan 30 1968, believed to be unfired.
Mr. Joe redid the case for me as most of the flocking was gone.
My 29-3 6 inch
My 629-1 4 inch pinned but not recessed.
