Smith & Wesson ~ Model 544 Texas Sesquicentennial ~ .44-40 WIN

Description:
The Model 544 is a modern production 5" big bore N-Frame, square butted revolver. It was built on the same lineage as Dirty Harry's .44 Magnum Model 29. The gun was made specifically for Texas's 150th anniversary. A total of 4,782 were made and they were dubbed the Texas Wagon Train Commemorative. The side of the barrel is inscribed with "1836 TEXAS 1986" to commemorate the Texas sesquicentennial. The lock plate has an outline of the state of Texas with a covered wagon and the dates 1836 and 1986 in a circle. The packaging was also outside the norm. The Model 544 came shipped in a blue velvet-lined wooden box with artwork depicting Texas and the Sesquicentennial Wagon Train route that traversed the state at the time. This example is in great shape but the display box shows some scratches on the lid. A nice collectable that's not seen often. .44-40 Winchester
