BUY IT!
I have 3 model 57s only one came with a box and the least I paid was $775. Even though prices have seemed to be dropping a little bit lately, $600 for a gun as you describe is a good deal. JMHO

It all depends on how you define a 90% gun !
Buy my definition that is too much money.

S&W model 57 .41 mag in box (original) 6" bbl. : Revolvers at GunBroker.com
I guess the grips look original to the gun but dont line up perfectly.
I consider that important but is easily fixed compared to pitting at least in my book.

Yeah, whats up with the grips? I never saw that before on any revolvers I've had, or handled....

well...aside from the grips a 90%gun (if it is) is just not that great of condition...if it has only been shot a few times and stored in a safe...why only 90%?in the last pic the bottom of the presentation case appears damaged...as if it is water damage...i would have some questions of the seller...hope this helps

I'd have to see the frame under the grips before I'd consider the gun shown. S&W would have never let a gun out the door with grips fitted in such a way.
My 57 no dash is my favorite gun, period - and I've got a lot of revolvers.
I only paid $500 for my 57, but I would not take $900 for it. It's in perfect shape, and who knows if I could replace it?
I've actually been finding quite a bit of .41 mag brass and bullets, although it takes a little shopping.

I think I know whats wrong with the grips , the pin inside at the bottom has worked out of one grip side , allowing the grips to twist .Put it back in and they will line up nice and tight- till you shoot it again .
My m-57 does it a lot while shooting heavy loads.
