This remarkable Smith & Wesson .22 M&P Revolver is engraved with a cattle brand motif and gold inlay, further complemented by antique bone grips, polished to perfection. Initially part of an exclusive batch of 150 units shipped to the U.S. Post Office in 1958.

Description

This remarkable Smith & Wesson .22 M&P Revolver, featuring impressive cattle brand relief engraving and gold inlay, is a collector’s dream. It was part of an exclusive batch of 150 units shipped to the U.S. Post Office in 1958, serving as a training firearm for postal employees. Its rich history includes a sale in 1967 for $83.20 and subsequent enhancement with ornate engravings costing $100, commissioned by its owner, Frank Barnard.

The artistry on this Smith & Wesson .22 M&P Revolver, completed in 1971 by the renowned Floyd E. Warren, is a testament to his exceptional craftsmanship. His signature on the grip frame is a seal of quality, confirming the authenticity of his work. The design, inspired by the iconic Texas cattle brand patterns of the 1940s and 1950s, beautifully captures the essence of the Lone Star State’s ranching heritage. Every inch of the surface is intricately etched, displaying motifs of historic Texan cattle brands from the 1880s and early 1900s, set against a stippled backdrop. Gold inlays enhance the muzzle, breech, and cylinder, with Warren’s initials delicately inscribed on the trigger guard.

This Smith & Wesson .22 M&P Revolver, further enhanced by antique bone grips and polished to perfection, is a sight to behold. It retains an impressive 99% of its original blue finish, a testament to its care and preservation. While it does show signs of age and authenticity, such as a cylinder drag line and minimal handling marks, these only add to its character. The hammer and trigger continue to showcase their original case colors, a clear indication of their excellent mechanical condition.
