S&W 29 Mountain Gun

desertdweller · #1 05-12-2010, 12:12 AM

I was looking on gunsinternational and found the following:
"Smith & Wesson model 29 44 magnum Mountain Gun 4" barrell, rare blue finish"
I just picked up one tonight LNIB and I didn't think/know this was a unique revolver. It is a 29-8 with the laser engraved "Mountain Gun" grips and "Mountain Gun" on the right side of the barrel.

Is in fact a mountain gun in blue finish with 4" actually rare? Also what is this worth?

Feedback on this subject would be appreciated!

I would probably pay $700-$750 for a truly NIB 29 Mountain Gun. Maybe more if I didn't already have a 629 MG.

Buds Gunshop had them (Mod 29 Mountain Gun) for $592 (sold out right now) -- I got a Mod 25 Mountain Gun and have been very happy with it -- I don't think they are particulary rare

Ordered a Model 57 Mountain Gun earlier this week from them....got some ammo coming from Double Tap for it until I can get dies and enough brass saved up.
