this week a local shop has been taking in a collection a few guns at a time. I bought one and put 2 on Layaway. here are some pictures of the 1st one

4 screw non model marked Pre 29 in original box $799 :shock:

I have to wait to pick up the other 2 as Tucson has a stupid 10 day rule for Serial # checks on the shops that buy used guns.

a 1960 vintage minty Model 36 flatlatch and a mint early model 43 paid for with the proceeds of selling the Pre 29 :mrgreen:

Beautiful gun. Outragously good deal for 800 bucks.

Interesting stocks! They appear to be very well executed. Are they marked inside?

Not seeing any N-Frames for sale lately, especially nice earlier ones. And certainly, none like yours. I did the usual tour of shops this week and came up empty handed. Well, except for the Winchester Model 90 in mint condition...

Stocks look like smooth Targets that have been custom checkered.

Nice gun at a great price.

Thanks Guys,

Yes the stocks were non-relieved Smooth targets that somebody customized they have no markings. still look good. A gentleman down in Alabama took it off my hands :mrgreen:

The Pre. Mod. 29 is very impressive with case as it looks to be mint, but the grips, man they really are impressive. I like their unique look. Doesn't hurt that they may be a "One of a Kind" either, congratulations on your good fortune and thanks for sharing. May we expect more photos of the other new comers?

That's a mighty fine looking S&W at a mighty desirable price! Good for you!

 

[DHENRY]

Really a good acquisition, Dan!
That box is worth half of what the whole package ran you.
When I grow up I want to be just like you!

Damn.

I woulda sacrificed the 43 and the 36 to keep that Pre-29.

Me too! That dealer must be a real shmuck to retail that gun for $799. The "guy in Alabama" will not be so benevolent when it re-appears,of that you may be sure. That one would have never left my covetous little paws. nhvaoavo

LOL I figured I would get some flack for letting it go. I took the shooter grade 4" pre 29 I found awhile back to the range and really disliked the feel and the recoil. Like I said previously I'm just not a 44 Mag guy. I saw this one as a way to get a couple more that I do like at no cost. It was the nicest 44 Mag I had ever held though and the thought of keeping did pass through my mind for a few minutes. I rated the gun at 98%+ conservatively.
The prices on the 36 and 43 were combined less than this one was and will Bring additional funding when I decide to move them.
I just recieved an EMail from DC and he said he would take all the guns I could find like this one. maybe I was a little to cheap
