Description
There’s something undeniably captivating about a well-preserved classic—and this Smith & Wesson Model 19-3, serial K917611, checks all the boxes. Shipped on February 13, 1970, to Em Roe Sporting Goods in Indianapolis, it’s more than just a .357 Combat Magnum—it’s a beautifully aged relic from an era when craftsmanship meant something.
With its 6-inch barrel and Partridge front sight, this revolver was built with precision in mind. Add in the wide target hammer and trigger, and you’ve got a smooth, confident shooting experience that lives up to the Combat Magnum’s legendary reputation.
But here’s where it really gets interesting: the Class A factory engraving. It’s not just decorative—it elevates the revolver from a functional sidearm to a genuine piece of art. The deep blue finish glows beneath the scrollwork, and those ivory grips? They don’t just complete the look—they make it unforgettable. Elegant, refined, and totally unique.
It even comes nestled in a wood display case lined with rich blue velvet, the kind of presentation that makes collectors pause and lean in a little closer.
So, whether you’re a lifelong Smith & Wesson enthusiast or someone who simply appreciates firearms with soul, this Model 19-3 offers that rare combination of utility, beauty, and story. And let’s be honest—how often does something like that come along?
