I'm willing to bet everyone here is searching for that $350 Reg Mag.
Sorry it was found in Pittsburgh........ 2007!
My older brother would borrow his buddies dog and go to central park in NYC to pick up babes. I just noticed that the Smith & Wesson nickel finish N frame revolvers attracts women too. My wife's girlfriend loves the nickel finished revolvers. Just a hint there babe magnets.

The Most Sought After S&W Revolvers
Seen a lot of posts.
Every time I go to the range.
Pull out my Pre-lock, model 66 snub nose, and my four inch model 19.
People always gather around!

Other than a Sousa grade Parker 28 gauge double I guess my personal S&W "want" is a 32 Regulation Police "Target".
Lots of good post in this thread. I think most sought after is too wide a definition. By me it would be: (As in I have not found or felt I wanted to pay the piper for them...)
1. Pre-war Reg magnum
2. 1st year Baby Chief Special
3. 1956 5 screw .44 magnum
4. All of Tom H's J frame collection!

A check of the Cabela's Libraries will take care of most of these real quick!

I am partial to all things .44 Special - Triplelock, 2nd Model, 1926 (3rd) Model, 1950 Model, the extremely rare Model 21, and the 24-3. I'm also fond of the 1980's-1990's era N-frame Classic models, the blue 29 Classic in particular.
The 38/44 Outdoorsman -- Pre-war, Transitional, and 1950 Model -- are particularly attractive. I think the 38/44 OD represents the gun-making craft and Smith and Wesson quite well, and are still affordable. If one can't afford a Registered Magnum then a 38/44 OD from the 1930's will do in a pinch, especially for collectors on a budget.
I'm a sucker for 1930's N-frames with number-matching Magnas, those 1/2" medallions really catch the eye. And, Transitional (1946-49) N-frames with matching Magnas are rare...in any condition.
The elusive Model 21
Big beautiful Magnas on a pre-war 38/44 Heavy Duty...with humpback hammer!
Transitional 38/44 Outdoorsman with matching Magnas. Sorry about the lousy photo.

I didn't know Parker made a Sousa grade, thought that was Ithaca. Parker's, I thought, went;.Trojan - A-1 Special, then Invincible. LeFever = Optimus, LC Smith = Deluxe & Fox = F grade. Is there a Sousa Parker I don't know about? Sousa was a Ithaca trap shooter.
Great question, BigBill.
I didn't try to define what your question means. Here are the first things that popped in my head when I read your post.
The pinto Model 50 I saw in a shop in Biloxi, Mississippi, in November 1974.
A blue Chiefs Special Target (or Model 36 Target or Model 50) would be a second choice.

I think my 27-2 5" is pretty sought after. I think any S serial N frame is pretty desirable.

My "Goldilocks" revolver is the 547 K frame ...
Falls between my J frames and L frame Model 69.
I've looked for and finally found a sought after Model 547 once made aware of it's existence here on this forum.
Chambered in 9mm but without the need for moon clips the 3" heavy barrel just balances so well it's like pointing my finger.
I bought it as a 70th birthday present to myself and treasure it above any gun in my 3rd Gen semi-auto collection.
For me it's a carry gun and a shooter, no safe queen for this 547!

I would love to find, but couldn't afford, a really nice M31 and/or 30.

CS-1 in 3" barrel or 4" barrel; 3" more desirable. M66 with 3" barrel. Model 547 (9mm) in 3" barrel or 4" barrel; 3" more desirable.
