Very nice Bill. That gun would be even more striking if it had the earlier type black ramp and blade front sight on that nickel barrel 
Did the pintos come in any sort of special case, or the standard type presentation case?

Two-tones were shipped in the same packaging as guns with standard finishes. The cylinder release latch is blue and the ejector rod is nickel plated. Two-tones made in the early and mid-50s have an ejector rod that is blue as well as a blued cylinder release latch. At least by 1959, the ejector rod was nickeled.
I have seen at least one two-tone 29-2 with a cylinder release latch that is nickel plated and it letters as a two-tone.

Which seems to be more common, nickel frame or blued frame?
