Description
Let’s not kid ourselves—this isn’t just a .44 Magnum. It’s the Smith & Wesson Model 29-2, and it’s got all the soul, swagger, and craftsmanship you’d expect from one of the most iconic revolvers ever made. With that long, commanding 8 3/8” barrel and a brilliant factory nickel finish that practically glows, this six-shot beauty doesn’t just stand out—it owns the room.
But the magic doesn’t stop there. What really makes this one special? The full-coverage factory engraving. It’s not just decoration—it’s art. Every swirl and flourish tells a story, hand-cut by the talented engravers who turned this piece of steel into something timeless.
And then there are the grips. Genuine elephant ivory, etched with scrimshaw S&W logos so fine you’d swear they were inked by hand under candlelight. They’re bold, elegant, and just the right kind of over-the-top for a revolver that was never meant to blend in.
This particular Model 29-2 is in factory test-fired only condition—essentially untouched. It looks as if it just stepped off the line yesterday, not decades ago. You’ll see exactly what we mean when you scroll through the photos.
Of course, it’s not just about looks. Collectors will appreciate the full presentation: deluxe display case, all the original paperwork, and a Smith & Wesson Historical Letter that confirms its pedigree. This is one of those rare chances to own a revolver that’s as much a conversation piece as it is a collectible.
