Hello S&W fans and experts! Here is my latest gun show find a week ago yesterday. It's a Model 34-1 pinned in nickel with a 4" barrel. It's got target hammer, target trigger, red ramp front sight and oversize smooth grips. It's in .22LR, but here's the kicker, it came with a second(blued)fitted cylinder in .22WMR!
The gentleman who sold it to me told me it was ordered from the factory with all these options. Is this possible? The gun shoots like a dream with either cylinder in place. The action was also supposedly factory worked and does feel like it. Would also love to know exactly how old she is. I'm still pinching myself. The gun is just as sweet as could be, but no box. Almost forgot the serial number. It's M7394

Nice find! The serial number points to a late 1969 produced gun.

The only way to tell if the .22 MRF cylinder came with the gun originally is a letter of authenticity; it will also give the exact ship date and destination:

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

Enjoy!
