Recentally aquired, a S&W 29-5, .44 mag. On the barrel is "29 MagnaClassic 1 of 3000".
This MagnaClassic has a 7.5" barrel, bright blue finish, and Combat Goncalo Alves grips. It appears the 29 has never been fired (except factory). Manufactured in 1990. It came with a very nice wood display case, certificate, factory sight in target (sighted in at 50 yards), and several different front sights.

On the certificate it states the MagnaClassic has a "Registered Serial No." Serial #MAG108x.
Also on the certificate it states the finish is Bright Blue/Stainless Steel". What would be stainless steel on this revolver?

Were these revolvers made by the Performance Center, or a special run by the S&W factory?
Can anyone here shed more light on excatly what I have?
Thanks!
