I recently picked up a M29-2, SN: N69xxx, 1972 Mfg. It was in a presentation case with all the tools but the felt was green. What are your thoughts about this sir?
Thanks, Gene
Thanks, Gene
Gene...the blue lining in the case your 29-2 was shipped in deteriorated rapidly and had to be replaced with a cloth lining. In your case, the cloth was green. I have a case relined with green cloth and two with blue cloth.

The Mahogany Presentation Case was used for N frame guns from 1960 thru 1983. During this time period S&W used 4 different type of liners. The 29-2 was made from 1962-1982. The earlier 29-2, an S serial prefix, cases are a bit harder to find. All 4 of the different types of liners had problems withstanding the test of time so it is difficult to find a case in good shape. The type of liner, barrel length, and condition will determine the price. I restore the liners for these cases and have some extra cases on hand. If you email me I might be able to help you in your quest for a case.
This is a before and after pic of the type case used from 1979-1983.

I have a 29-2 SN: 690xx that came in a presentation case that looks like the liner was replaced with green felt. Is this correct for this 1972 4 1/2" 29-2 ? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Gene
Is what correct, Gene?
Is the green felt correct? No. Was the blue flocking replaced with green felt? Yes.
I know, I'm easily confused.
It's unlikely that your gun has a 4 & 1/2" barrel. But, I'm often wrong on a wide variety of topics.

Gene...I sent you a private message with some additional information about the case for your 44 Magnum.
