Picked this one up recently locally.....I am told it is NOT a Lew Horton model but was one of approx 2500 put out directly from S&W in 1989

Did not know of these until I came across this one.

Although this one has been shot but is still in great shape, it did not have the original box.

One thing that surprises me is that apparently it shipped with Pachmayr "Grippers" as seen in the photos, but the gun is a round butt and the stocks seem an odd choice??? The fit is awful as you can see. Am I missing something on these??

Found a spare set of S&W Wood Combats that look and feel great!

Any thoughts on rarity, collector value, etc. would be appreciated.

P.S. I also picked up an unfired Elmer Keith edition in the wood box, but no papers from the same seller.
