Gorgeous piece. Have to keep my eyes peeled for the box/badge. I'm salivating.

Purchased some diamond magnas from Rick. Flawless transaction. Great communication. The stocks were packaged well and shipped promptly. All in all I have a hard time remembering a better deal I've made. Kudos, Rick....kudos! A true credit to the board. Thanks my friend!

An amazing specimen. Congrats.

I'll take #3. S&W N square butt diamond magnas. Serial numbered 111643. PM on the way.

Depends on price. I suspect the magnas that would have come on the rm would be out of my reach financially. Diamonds will probably be my limit if the prices are as I've been reading about. I may have to settle for some aftermarket alternatives to take to the range though. Doesn't look like a...

Will do. However, my main concern is finding some magna's for it. I've tried gunbroker, ebay and a couple of other site that I knew would be long shots....so far...nada. I knew this would be a challenge, but it's looking like a bigger issue than I had hoped. :(

Thank you all for your opinions. Much appreciated. I'll be curious to see more of the history behind this revolver.

Yes. It's the same S/N as appears on the butt. As for how he found it, he's got some friends who are old time enthusiasts and for whatever reason, one was selling this revolver. He thought I might like it so....and yes, I did thank him!!

Great information. Many thanks. As I suspected, I'm having some difficulty locating stocks for this one...and I agree...they have to go. I might have to grab something to make do with at the range until I can find a suitable replacement.

Yes indeed. I noticed this as well when looking at some photos of other registered magnums online. The barrel's number is the same as the one on the butt. I suspect it was one of the modifications performed at the request of a previous owner.

S&W runs in my family. From my grandfather to my father and now to me. It's more or less a family tradition to pass down the family firearm collection, and it's a tradition I enthusiastically embrace. I look forward to learning the ropes and lay of the land so to speak and getting to know...

Very good eyes my friend. It's 562 and 8.50. Thank you. As for introductions, I suppose proper procedure would have been to handle that before jumping right in with a question. My apologies to the board. But I do appreciate the feedback.

Thank you Ned! 1938. Now I'm curious. Again I appreciate this!

Very true, but those grips gotta go. Have a feeling finding replacements might be an issue. Additional photos attached.

It's...shall we say...well worn. Still worth a good clean up and some time at the range to see how it handles.

Thanks A10. Appreciate the reply.

New member looking for help with an identification. I recently came into possession of a well worn S&W 357. Having a bit of trouble finding information on this one. The S/N is 568xx. No letter. As for the model, I find "REG 3799". Is this a registered 27? Anyone help with the year? It was a...
