S&W Collectibles

[gutterman]

Don't know if this is the proper forum for this question---But-What do you all consider the most desired and collectible of the more modern S&W revolvers? I'm really looking at the pre-lock era.

The original 627pc bloodwork would be towards the top of the list

 

[DCWilson]

Fixed sight 629 with 3-inch (or maybe 4-inch?) barrel. Very few of these.

I would also look at the rarely seen 631 in .32 H&R Magnum. Barely 5000 made in total, and four different varieties within that range. Probably the rarest is the round butt adjustable sight Kit Gun with a four inch barrel. According to SCSW, about 40 were made in 1998. If you ever seen one of those, just buy it without question.

For me it would be stainless P&R models, but I'm not really a "collector."

Here is a picture of the 631 mentioned.

the 631 or the 331 in 32 h&r magnum 2 inch is the bees knees. This 4 inch 631 I bought was from a forum member who had one post and just ONE S&W revolver.

 

[DCWilson]

Peyton, thanks for the pics. I had never seen a 631 4" .32 Kit Gun or even an image. Now at least (and at last!) I know what I'm looking for.

 

[Butchbird]

For me any S&W revolver I don't have is one I want -- and in some cases more than one of each

 

[Nygma]

I like building compete sets:

63

651 with aux 22 LR cylinder

631

617 no lug, 4"

617 no lug, 6"

pre-lock Mountain Guns
686+ -5 MG

657-4 MG

629-4 MG

625-6 MG, 45ACP

625-6 MG, 45 Colt

I don't know about the most desired and collectible but I suspect the PC 66-4 Super K would be up there. I know it's the one newer model I most want.

 

[ILLWIND]

3" Model 29 or 629-1 and my model 625-4 SAC are 3 models that come to my mind...Just my opinion. Their prices are going thru the roof.

Works for me! Of course that's because I have one...and an original dual cylinder Bloodwork...All mine are limited run PC guns, fun to shoot AND collect...

 

[Stainz]

Perhaps a 696?

617 no lug, 4"

617 no lug, 6"

These are ultra rare....at least to me.....i would let out a war cry if i found one!

 

[peyton]

Great pictures and collection. I did not realize the 686 was available in a half lugged version!!

 

[LOBO]

Not P&R guns, but no IL's either.....


29-4, 3" 1 of 2532 in 1989

29-4, 5" 1 of 500 in 1989

29-4, 8 3/8" 1 of 2500 in 1989

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Ashland Shooters Supply half lug 617's.
