Description
Let’s be honest—this isn’t just a .44 Magnum. It’s the Smith & Wesson Model 29-2, and it carries the kind of presence most revolvers can only dream of. With its commanding 8 3/8” barrel and factory nickel finish that shines like liquid chrome, this piece doesn’t whisper luxury—it announces it.
And then comes the engraving. Full coverage. Factory executed. Every swirl, leaf, and line is cut by hand, turning this revolver into something far beyond mere machinery. It’s artistry in steel—alive with the kind of craftsmanship that reminds you why handwork still matters. The pattern flows naturally, accentuating the contours of the barrel, frame, and cylinder in a way that feels intentional, balanced, and deeply personal.
Capping it all off? Genuine elephant ivory grips, scrimshawed with fine S&W logos—details so delicate they feel almost drawn rather than carved. It’s impossible to look at them without thinking of an era when gunmaking was equal parts utility and art.
This particular example is as close to pristine as it gets—factory test-fired only. The condition is breathtaking, the kind of preservation that turns a great gun into a legacy piece.
It’s not just the revolver that shines here, though. You’re getting the full presentation: a deluxe S&W display case, original paperwork, and a Smith & Wesson Historical Letter confirming every detail.
For collectors who know, this Model 29-2 isn’t just another engraved revolver—it’s a statement of perfection, provenance, and pure American craftsmanship.
