Looks like a Registered Magnum....and a half.
OP
S&W Registered Magnum
I picked this up last Sept. 4 inch barrel with a spare 5 1/2 inch barrel numbered to the gun. I finally got some help to get the pic posted. I am not to good with computers. Quality of pics will hopefully improve. Thanks to D.C. Wilson for instruction.

Pic was not taken with a cell phone. It was taken with a Sony Cyber Shot digital that i don't know how to use either. I have since learned where the macro is. Is the pic to large?

Tell us more.
Are both barrels numbered?
Have a letter? We like to hear where they went.

The size of the picture is fine. Get some stronger lighting and hold the camera as steady as possible. A covered porch on a sunny day is a great place to take pics.
Tell us more about the gun!
OP
Both barrels are numbered to the gun. Serial # is 465xx and REG # 2xx. Shipped July24,1935 to Kennedy Brothers Arms Co.,St. Paul MN. It was ordered with the 4 in.barrel, but no mention on the order for the 5 1/2 inch. Letter says the 5 1/2 inch must have been ordered at a later date. No date mark on the frame. Would they have stamped it for a barrel fitting?

Thanks for advice Dragon88

Don't stop with just one picture. You have our curiosity up. Is that a .44?
OP
More pictures will be coming as soon as I am able to take better ones. It is a Registered Magnum I bought in Sept. I also picked up another one last weekend with a 4 1/2 inch barrel. I will be working on pics today.
Need ... More ... Photos ... and Information...
Looking forward to the pics and more information. These RM threads are my favorites. I know that I have posted these before, but here's some photos of a 1st year RM that shipped in December 1935.

Beautiful Gun RK
My guess it shipped with service stocks, not magnas.
OP
Letter states it shipped with checkered walnut grips with grip adapters attached, which I do not have. I just noticed the spare barrel is missing parts. The pin and the part it holds in. Are they supposed to be used from the other barrel?

Those pre-war grip adapters are worth a bundle of money on there own.July 1935 I would say service grips like these.
I would say no!
Here is a photo of a 10/1936 one that also shipped with the grip adapter:
BTW: That RM of yours is a beauty.
Thanks for sharing,
