Come to think of it, I believe one of our other members there owns an old .357 Magnum that was carried by a famous Marine officer and FBI agent. He's actually Canadian, but has lived in Mexico for years.

You are right, .357 Magnum are ban to civilian in Mexico, except for two cases. One that you mentioned that you were a collector with a license or if you are member of a “Charro” (Mexican Cowboy) association.
But I was thinking if I was the prior American owner wouldn´t change the chamber to .357 Magnum (I was talking figurative). In the case that the revolver were re-chamber to .357 like some .38/44s Heavy Duty and Outdoorsman.
And yes like Old Bear said, it was Calmex who have that registered magnum you said. I don´t know Calmex in person, but he is a good friend of mine in the Mexican gun forums.
