.357 Combat Magnum, K260003, is the first one manufactured by Smith & Wesson on December 15, 1955 (the caption in the photo is incorrect). It was kept in the factory collection and engraved in 1962 by Alvin White for presentation to President John F. Kennedy. Unfortunately, the presentation was never made and the revolver was eventually purchased by S&WCA Founding Member, Bill Orr. He kept the revolver for many years with it be acquired by me in 2011. Mr. White also carved the ivory stocks which are unique in their shape and have gold S&W monograms, escutcheon, and stock screw. Click on the photos for a better look.
