Does it have to be a S&W? A Webley-Fosbury automatic revolver.
I guess I'd have to say this ol Thunderer given to me by the last train robber in Wyoming.

I met Bill when I was a kid during a card game out at the ranch.

He kept that gun on a shelf under the cash register in his tourist trap restuarant/motel.
I hung out at his place and visited with him when I was a freshman in college in Laramie.
He gave it to me when he sold the motel and moved back east with his daughter

Favorite antique: Mr Iggy -- cause he lets me shoot prairie dogs on his ranch and his stories are great!!
If it is a firearm it is my Taylor Arms 45-70 Quigley reproduction Sharps rifle. It is just fun to shot and close does count.

.54 caliber plains rifle built by Jonathan Browning (father of John Moses), around 1842-1846 for my grandmother's grandfather.
I'm not into antiques, but.......
I inherited a 1929 Browning A5 12 ga shotgun. It's in very good shape. It's a real Belgian, not one of those 1963 'Belgians'. Heavy sucker, though.

This H&R USRA Pistol, given to me by a very good friend who moved to a state a little less gun-friendly than Massachusetts.
The gun, sometimes called a Model 195, was made around 1936, and included most or all of the latest improvements made by Walter Roper to the original design. It has Roper-designed adjustable sight radius and Roper grips.
