I'll bet Randy's arm is sore from all the twisting...jes sayin' 
That is awesome! Not only that you have a highly desirable gun, but that you received it from your dad. My dad was always anti-gun. In the sense that he didn't want anything to do with them. Even though he was a tanker in the Army. I remember him saying one time, that he hated having to train with one-gallon jugs of water in an outstretched arm for the Colt 45's. I love guns and can't seem to get enough. Thanks for showing yours. I have not had the good fortune to see an RM or Non-Registered Magnum with a barrel shorter than 5 inches in the flesh.

A case where both the seller and the buyer are happy, thanks for sharing it with us.

WOW!!! Nice!
THAT is an impressive piece, congrats!
My Dad was not an anti-gunner, but he was never a shooter or hunter. He served in the USAAF for 4 years in WWII, and was issued several different firearms (1903 Springfield, M1 Carbine, and M1A1 Thompson). He brought back a few interesting pieces from overseas, but I only remember him shooting a Walther P-38 one time. He did buy me a Sears .22 single shot bolt action rifle when I was about 8 and taught me to shoot. I've always been a gun guy...not sure where that comes from.
That NR Magnum is a beauty, and a great family heirloom. Congratulations, and I hope you bought your Dad a good bottle of bourbon and a cigar!
Is that 1 of the 25 shipped to the Wichita PD on 12/10/40? They were some of the very last pre-war Magnums.
Congrats!!! I have to tell you that I am a little envious when I see you and your dad at the Symposiums together. Were he still living, my dad would have had a blast with me at one of the Symposiums. Now, if I could only get one of my sons interested in S&Ws... or one of my daughters...

Yes, this is one of the 25 from 1940.

Both of my parents are gone. I'm up for adoption! Care to take a chance? I cook, mow the lawn, rake leaves and can even bring you your slippers!!!!

Richard,
I hope that my dad is around to see his grandsons attend the symposiums.
Dad and I have several trips a year to SWCA and Tulsa. Sadly, our local shows are dwindling. We used to set up a table 3-4 times a year with the Premier Shows group, but they moved away from our locale.
Congratulations!!!
Awesome revolver !!!
Awesome revolver !!!
SAFireman's son (my grandson) will be receiving his first rifle for his birthday next weekend. So, we'll see where this goes... Second grandson will be next in line.
Take him hunting with you if you can. . .and talk S&Ws while you're there. Mine likes shooting our pigs but the occasional deer too. That 257 Weatherby he's holding use to be mine. . . . I need to get him to a Symposium soon.
