This is what the presentation for your Model 29-2 originally looked like. The top and bottom inserts are covered with a blue synthetic material that deteriorated quite rapidly resulting in the inserts requiring to be recovered. Most collectors use a dark blue cloth, but red and green are also popular.
Some of the bottom inserts have the slots for your fingers (shown), but some do not.
Just an observation, but the condition of the stocks doesn't appear to match the condition of the 44 Magnum. Possibly replacements for the originals?
