#275 - S&W Model of 1950 Target

 There are said to be only six of these guns made with a 3 1/2" barrel...This one is documented by letter to have had three different barrel lengths, all from the factory...It was obviously ordered and customized for a very demanding client...My extensive research has yet to identify that enduser...Note the trigger shoe and stocks modified for concealed carry...This modification may have been the inspiration for the later PC Magnas offered by the factory...The box is the same one that was first used to ship the gun when it left as a 5"...Read the documentation below for the clues...All the factory rework stamps are where they would be expected...I sourced a JT Lloyd Distributor catalog to add to the provenance here, but strangely the S&W gun pages are blank, another mystery...No value has yet been set for this gun...
