Ultimate Commemorative Thread - How Many Do We Have?

Only commemorative I have, I think...
OOPS, remembered this one hanging out in the back of the safe Prize gun from the old National Police Revolver Championships in
1983 I think . Its never been fired, I had it setting out for years, so it got wiped down alot. Hence some of the gold is thinned out.
Came in a wooden box, a pistol rug with matching emblem,and the original box. I still have them stored seperately.

Crummy old pic of my LAPD city of LA 200 anniversary model. Found in a pawn shop just before it stopped selling guns in West Hollywood. The challenge coin was missing and the box was a bit dinged up so I took off the grips and auctioned them off here a few years back for a fundraiser for a brother member who was dying of cancer. Someone paid $100 for them, which would be a steal today I guess.

I put some pachs on it and turned it into a shooter. In a way, glad it wasn’t pristine or I would never have enjoyed shooting it. And it was under $300 anyway.

Beautiful photos.

I don't know how to do photos but I do have a story about the Haller jframe I have. I showed it to a friend who was a criminal prosecutor ( now a judge ).
He was green with envy.
I did let him touch it.

I do not know how I forgot about my 50th and 75th 357 Magnum Anniversary revolvers

My 50th is the one that appears in the 3rd edition of the Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson, but not the 4th edition. It is product code 101021 and 2501 were produced back in 1985

The 75th Anniversary 357 Magnum has a bit of machine engraving on it and some scrolls on the grips as well. It is product code 150974 and 500 were produced back in 2010. Mine is number 11. I was too lat to the party to line up a good serial number

One thing that I do not see mentioned in this thread. Smith & Wesson always has the Commemeratives added to ATFE's Curio and Relic list
 
Kentucky State Police 30th Anniversary 19-4

Just picked this up last week and wanted to add it to the thread. It's not in perfect un-fired condition, but it's still pretty nice.
