1955 CLASS A ENGRAVED 3.5" Pre-27

[RKmesa]

A while back I was able to pick up this beauty from one of the "class-act" local members of this forum. This class A engraved 3.5" .357 Magnum was shipped on December 28, 1955 to H.H. Harris Co., Chicago, Il. The package that I received included a beautiful box, all of the tools, the vapor paper and all of the other paper work. What a great New Years present to whomever purchased it!





Some closer-up shots:













And... What She would have looked like when you opened the box:





Thanks for letting me share,

What a beautiful Smith. One of the few guns I have seen that I would consider too pretty to shoot. That is a collectors piece.

Those pictures are the reason the '96 to '61 forum is the foundation of all things S&W.

That thing is absolutely beautiful. If I had that gun I would lose weight from going back and forth to the gun safe gettinng it out to look at. And the nice thing about you is that you are sharing your good fortune with the rest of us! Thank You! DLB

Beautiful engraving on about my favorite revolver of all time... it just doesn't get any better than that.

Looks like Jarvis. Pretty gun.

I esp like the engraving style. Some styles are a tad ugly IMO. I have a pre 27 with the same type of grips, but someone forgot to engrave my gun

Absolutely beautiful! Do you know who the engraver was? Stunning workmanship!!

Richard, That is a great gun and your pics represent it very well. Good for you.

Excellent gun, spectacular photos.

After all the RM pics, I had somehow lost track of the fact that you collect postwar N-frames as well.
