Description
Scarce Factory Engraved Pinned and Recessed Smith & Wesson Model 629 Double Action Revolver with Case
Manufactured in 1980, this Smith & Wesson Model 629 revolver is a rare find, being an early production model with a pinned barrel and counterbored cylinder—safety features that were eliminated in 1982 with the Model 629-1. Knowledgeable collectors estimate that only 100 stainless steel pinned and recessed Model 629s were factory engraved. This revolver features a fixed orange ramp blade front sight and an adjustable tangent rear sight, with a matted top strap and rib. The frame, cylinder, and barrel are adorned with 70% coverage of Class A floral scroll engraving. It is fitted with oiled Goncalo Alves grips and features silver S&W monogram medallions. The package includes a blue box, cleaning tools, a walnut display case, and a shipping box.
