New to Me--pre-Model 29 4-Screw-*new pic added 5/31*

[JayCeeNC]

Got this one in today, my first pre-Model 29.
Serial# S169XXX, shipped February, 1957. Not much wear except a turn line.
It came with a nice set of Cokes but thought I'd see how it looked with these Keith Brown Roper stocks.

For 1Aspenhill, here's a pic with the Cokes:

Congrats, John. That is one seriously beautiful revolver! I'm sure the cokes look good on it but KB's work really sets that piece off. You can be proud of that one.

Thanks, Bill.
From looking at the database I thought it was a pretty early one.

Hey John. I know I'm not on much anymore but I had to come and take a look. Very nice!

Fantastic gun purchase and I know that you had to be as excited as a kid in a candy store.

Congratulations on a fine gun! That is in very nice shape. Did you get all the goodies with it?

Nope, just the gun. I might pick up a box if I run into one in good shape, though.

Thank you for posting that pic and congrats on a very special S&W.

Gorgeous gun..I never tire of looking at early 44 Magnum Hand ejectors.

Outstanding. Just a stunning example of an early non model marked 4 screw.
My favorite post war N frame.

Thanks, those cokes are extremely nice themselves! I love Keith's grips too!

I expect everyone will love the cokes too!
