29-2 8 3/8 Nickel

[Model29-26.5]

Seemed like a pretty decent deal.

Just a moment...

Not exactly collector stuff but pretty decent shape.
I guess I'll find out when I get it.
It completes my 29-2/629 ND collection.
I have too many cases taking up space already!

Now I can move on and sleep at night.

Model29-26.5, that should work just fine. I don't have an 8 3/8ths inch barreled gun in my collection. One day, I might have to remedy that situation.

BTW, if those bulky mahogany cases are getting in your way too often, I'll be more than happy to take them off your hands! I'm a nice guy that way! I mean I wouldn't be able to sleep at night knowing that you were tripped up by those pesky cases.

That one is just like my first firearm purchase. It got sold long ago and have been trying to find a replacement forever.

I missed that one, otherwise the ending price would have been higher.

Congratulations on the purchase, it looks to be in great shape!

I like those cases, but they do take up room.
I'm going to attempt to make a presentation box myself for an 8" 6.5" and 4". Little craft project

The long tube guns are a hoot to shoot (sorry) and balance better than you might think. If you have the range, try shooting at 200 yards for fun.

I think you got a pretty good deal on that nickel Model 29-2, and it should nicely compliment your growing collection. Years ago a friend asked me if I wanted to buy his nickel Model 29-2 with 8-3/8" bbl. At the time I was not a fan of nickel revolvers or revolvers with barrels longer than 6-1/2". I did clean it up for him (gentle polishing with Flitz, a Kleenbore Lead Away cloth, and Ren Wax) and helped him arrange a consignment sale at a local gun shop. He got $600 after fees and was happy to get it. I probably let a good one get away, but I'm still not a long tube fan. However, I am getting to appreciate nickel and now have half a dozen revolvers. Congratulations, and enjoy!
