Very Nice Kris. I like it. ALOT.
To quote Uncle George, "Oh, Myyyyyy!"
Congratulations! I like that it hasn't been a safe queen, too. Very cool......

Great barrel length for the powerful 44 magnum cartridge.I guess a 4 inch would be o.k. if your Backpacking in Alaska.

Good catch Kris!
Let me know if you ever want to part with it, I "shipped from the factory" in April of '62 and that's close enough for a birthday gun.

The rarest thing in the picture is the "nox-rust" vapor paper! 
THAT is about as NOS as it gets. Very complete & correct.
Another home run.

Sweet! What a great looking gun and package.
I like it. I am not a huge fan of nickel but they are growing on me. I do like the look of case hardened and the blued front sight contrasting with the nickel. very cool.

Very, very nice find. I particularly like the addition of the box and original accessories. That deserves to be displayed.
Like you Kris, I've wanted a vintage nickel 6"/6.5" for some time myself, and finally found a nice one a few months back, complete with the original box, papers, etc. Sorry, I don't have my photos with me at this puter, but found the photo folder from when I purchased it. It's a sweet Smith in my (small, but growing) collection.

Hot diggity dogs! Nice catch.
Back around 1977 I was a young deputy sheriff and I went to a small gun show in Opelika, Alabama. I picked up a used M29, 6 1/2" and nickel, that was sitting on a table. It felt sooo good in the hand. Of course, I couldn't afford it, not on my salary.
Years later, I realized that it was fitted with Cokes.

I have one like this I bought in 1975 for a duty pistol when I worked for the local Sheriff's Dept. It served me well. I paid at that time $247.00 for it. Now I would not sell it for 10 times that amount. I have very good memories of carrying it.
