What a journey and thanks for the background detail, obviously you have a part of history and a serious S&W addiction.
Well I guess you could call it an addiction, more like a way of life actually after all these years, close to 40 now.

I was waiting for someone to ask how it came to me. I found it on GB being sold as a 29-2. It had an unmarked cylinder and barrel with smooth target stocks. Having an S serial # made me take a chance on it being a late S series 29-2 as that is my interest these days. I always request a letter on any S&W I acquire and what a nice surprise I got when the letter came back. You just never know what you really have until you get a letter.
