Nice guns! I really like the Mod 24 it is on my list to get if I can ever find one! I am a N Frame Nut too!

Wow gunnut, at first glance, I thought that you had 3 chests of drawers in the background of your picture. I then realized that it was 3 stacks of presentation boxes! You really are a N frame nut. I would like to be a nut like that.

No wonder these presentation cases are getting more expensive and harder to find...
 
Only three but I love them

First n frame, got it 28 years ago from my dad N104xxx 4 inch model 28 with numbered grips but stag for the pic. Action job dome by ISP armorer in 82 and a red insert installed.at the same time.

629 no dash, 4 inch pinned and recess I got last week. The top model 28 was my first handgun and this 629 is my most recent.

A very humble start and restart. I hope to add more to my humble start as time and money permits. My next one? A 4" 29-2 or 3.
 
Here's a not-so-great picture of a few. From the top: 27-2, 29-2, 29-4, 21-4.

Here's the 21-4 with a 624, and another non-N frame .44Spl.

I'm getting close to my goal of owning forty four .44 magnums. I'd do the rest of my n frames but it would take a while.

Well, I'll be a little selective here and show just two.

My longest-owned N-frame, which is still in terms of manufacture my newest gun: a 629-6 I bought a couple of years back and adorned with Kurac ebony stocks:

My most recent acquisition, which in terms of manufacture is my oldest N-frame, a .455 Triple Lock that has been converted to .45 Colt.

In between these extremes there's some good stuff that I have posted in other threads over the months.
 
29-1's grips are worth more than my gun collection.

I like your storage set-up too.
