Guns Listing ID: 613294
An early Smith & Wesson .357 Highway Patrolman with factory documentation, honest service character, and period-correct law-enforcement configuration, exactly the kind of revolver advanced collectors wait for.
This Smith & Wesson .357 Highway Patrolman represents the real thing. A documented, mid-century N-frame service revolver that reflects how these guns were actually carried, used, and trusted during the golden age of American law enforcement. Backed by a factory historical letter and retaining its correct configuration, this example stands apart from the countless unverified or over-restored Highway Patrolman revolvers on the market.
Introduced in 1954 as a duty-focused alternative to the deluxe Model 27, the Highway Patrolman delivered the same strength and .357 Magnum performance in a more practical service finish designed for uniformed officers and highway patrol units. This revolver embodies that mission. It presents in overall very good condition with honest wear consistent with professional use, not neglect or abuse. The finish shows expected thinning and light surface marks in high-contact areas, reinforcing its authenticity as a true service revolver rather than a cosmetic safe queen.
What elevates this example for collectors is the presence of original Smith & Wesson documentation that ties the serial number to its shipment and configuration, removing guesswork and anchoring provenance. For those who collect early N-frame .357s, factory letters matter, and this revolver has the paper to support its story. Further reinforcing its law-enforcement heritage, the revolver is fitted with a period-correct Tyler T-Grip adapter, a historically accurate accessory widely adopted by officers in the 1950s and 1960s to improve control under recoil while retaining factory stocks. The adapter is non-invasive and fully removable, requiring no alteration to the revolver, and reflects real-world duty practice rather than later modification. For collectors who value authenticity, this detail adds historical texture rather than detracting from originality.
For the shooter-collector, this remains a classic Smith & Wesson N-frame .357 Magnum with the balance, durability, and shootability that made these revolvers legendary. For the serious collector, it is a documented, early Highway Patrolman that tells a verifiable story and wears its history honestly. Examples like this are increasingly difficult to source in correct configuration with factory documentation intact. This is not a restored revolver, not a parts gun, and not a speculative piece. It is an authentic survivor from a defining era of American law enforcement, offered with the details and provenance that discerning buyers demand. All used firearms are sold as is, with no warranties, expressed or implied.
