The first 44 Magnum was completed on December 15, 1955 (the same day the first Combat Magnum was completed) and has serial number S130927. It was used to make the first advertisements and All Model Circular for the new 44 Magnum and eventually sold to Rex Firearms on February 21, 1956. It was possibly engraved by Alvin White and used in Rex's early advertisements for the 44 Magnum. The second 44 Magnum was completed on December 29, 1955 and has serial number S130806. It is the first 44 Magnum shipped and was sent to R. H. Coleman of Remington Arms on the day it was completed.

The current location/dispostion of these important 44 Magnums is unknown.
