Description
This exceptionally rare Smith & Wesson Model 629, a gem from 1980, is a privilege for any collector. As an early production model, it features the coveted pinned barrel and counterbored cylinder—enhancing its safety and adding to its exclusivity. These features were discontinued by Smith & Wesson in 1982 with the release of the Model 629-1, making this a truly unique find. This is a truly exclusive and rare opportunity, with only about 100 stainless steel, factory-engraved Model 629 revolvers ever produced.
The revolver is adorned with a stunning 70% coverage of Class A floral scroll engraving, adding a touch of elegance to its rugged stainless steel frame. Its functional design includes a fixed orange ramp front sight and an adjustable rear sight, with a matted top strap and rib for optimal visibility and precision. This revolver radiates quality and craftsmanship and is paired with beautifully oiled Goncalo Alves grips featuring silver Smith & Wesson medallions.
This Smith & Wesson Model 629 comes with a complete collector’s package, including a classic blue Smith & Wesson box, a set of cleaning tools, a walnut display case, and a shipping box. The revolver is in excellent condition, with minimal handling marks and a light cylinder drag line. While showing minor wear in its felt interior, the display case retains its overall charm. This package is a collector’s dream and a testament to the history and prestige of Smith & Wesson’s manufacturing excellence.
