EARLY 5-SCREW PRE-29 .44 MAGNUM WITH RARE FACTORY 4” BARREL, #S 167XXX, MADE 1957, letter
Description: EARLY 5-SCREW PRE-29 .44 MAGNUM WITH RARE FACTORY 4” BARREL, #S 167XXX, MADE 1957. S&W factory letter states that this “.44 magnum Pre-Model 29, Five Screw Variation, was shipped on January 11, 1957, and delivered to Galef & Son Inc., New York, NY. The Records indicate that this revolver was shipped with a 4 inch barrel, red ramp front sight, white outline rear sight, target hammer and target trigger, blue finish, and checkered Goncalo Alves target grips. This shipment contained 10 units of this model in the above configuration and they were billed at the wholesale price of $86.06 each.” The letter goes on to give a good history or the Pre-29s and later .44 magnum models. The Standard Catalog of S&W book says the 4” barrel in the five-screw series is worth a 25% premium, that of course, is their opinion, but it does indicate the scarcity of this short barrel length. This example has came from out here in Montana and I sent for the letter myself over a year ago. It shows light wear only with barely a touch of silver at the muzzle on each side, some light holster wear on the outside of the cylinder and at worst a touch of wear to the end edge of the ejector housing underlug and extreme outside edge of the trigger guard bow. The diamond coke-bottle grips are excellent with sharp checkering. Very tight action and cylinder lock-up. The front face of the cylinder shows much of the blue finish indicating that this revolver was shot very little- a box of factory .44 magnums will pretty well blow the blue off the front of the cylinder! Very hard to find in any barrel length, with 4” being the most difficult. Factory letter included.
