Smith & Wesson Pre-Model 29 .44 Magnum – 6.5" Barrel, 1957 Production, Blued Finish

This 1957 Smith & Wesson Pre-Model 29 is a vintage powerhouse, representing the early production era of what would become one of the most iconic revolvers in American history. Chambered in .44 Magnum with a 6.5" ribbed barrel, this six-shot revolver features a factory blued finish with a ramped front sight and fully adjustable rear—ideal for serious range use or collecting.

The revolver retains approximately 85% of its original finish, with some expected light wear and a faint drag line on the cylinder. It still exhibits crisp timing, tight lockup, and a strong bore with clean rifling. The case-colored serrated trigger and spurred hammer maintain their vintage charm, while the checkered target grips with S&W medallions complete the classic presentation. A must-have for collectors of early magnum revolvers.
