So my wife says next time we go on vacation I cannot stop at a gun store…..she can keep on dreaming!
We traveled almost 2900 miles and I only stopped at seven gun shops
Not a single Smith & Wesson in the first six and I was extremely disappointed and when I say no Smith and Wesson‘s I mean no Smith and Wesson revolvers
But when you walk into a gun store and get invited into the back room where there are 25+ pre-lock smith and Wesson‘s you suddenly realize you’re in heaven……
And now there are three less in that inventory now! lol
Which brings me to this Model 29–2 8 3/8 inch barrel nickel
It appears to be pretty much unfired but it is stamped in the Right hand side of the barrel and would appear to me that it would have needed to have been done before it was nickeled so I’m curious if it was a special order done through the factory I’m assuming it was a giveaway for a raffle
In case it’s hard to see in the pictures it is serial numbered
N329xxx and it says in the stamp on the barrel
Topeka gun show May 21-22 1977
Would be neat to find out a little history
Thank you for your time
Tom
