#362 - S&W Model 19-3

 This Model 19-3 has a 2 1/2" barrel, is pinned & recessed and all numbers match...Comes with the original box & papers and Magna stocks...The nickel finish is original...

#361 - S&W Model of 1926 3rd Model

 These .44 Specials are not often found for sale, so when the opportunity arose, I took it...This one has a 5" barrel and original nickel finish...The stocks are early Magnas with machined steel stock washers having no printing on them...The only mark I can see is a penciled "250" on the inside of the right panel; these digits do not compare with any part of the gun's S/N, and their use here is a mystery...The gun shows no sign of refinish and all numbers match...There no service codes...

#360 - S&W M&P

 A new arrival is this 2" barreled square butt M&P...It arrived with all matching metal numbers, but the wrong grips...I decided to put this in my EDC rotation, replacing my 99 year old M&P Target...Magna stocks don't fit my hand well, so I resurrected a pair of unrelieved Target stocks not more than a year or two newer than the gun,.,Shipped March 1951...

#359 - S&W Model of 1950 Military .44 Special

 From 1950 when production began until production ended, there were only 1200 .44 Special Military Models of 1950 produced...This includes those that carried the Model 21 designation after 1957...I do not have a breakdown of this number by barrel length...This one came to me with a beautifully crafted solid brass grip adaptor...I noticed while processing the photos below that the grip adapter appears discolored or tarnished; this is a result of the lighting and shadows used in taking the photos...It is actually bright and shiny...

All numbers match including the original Magna stocks...S&WHF letter is included...After receiving this gun I was informed by the seller it was formerly carried on duty by a Kansas City Missouri Police Department officer (possibly a detective) and he remembered he also had the 3 speedloaders he carried and his badge, all of which he sent to me...I added a KCPD shoulder patch, and my plan is to repurpose one of my empty S&W presentation cases to hold all these items...
