Description
This is a genuine Smith & Wesson Pre-Model 29, manufactured in 1956, prior to Smith & Wesson adopting formal model numbers in 1957. Chambered in the legendary .44 Magnum, this revolver represents the earliest production of what would later become one of the most famous wheel guns of all time.
Built on the large N-frame, this revolver features a deep blued finish, long barrel profile (measuring approximately 6.5 inches), and classic checkered walnut grips with S&W medallions. The pre-29 is revered for its craftsmanship—hand-fitted internals, smooth double-action trigger pull, and the refined polish that defined Smith & Wesson’s golden era.
Highly sought after by collectors, shooters, and historians alike, the pre-29 stands as a cornerstone of American revolver history. Whether displayed in a collection or carefully enjoyed at the range, this revolver carries lasting historical significance and strong long-term value.
