I have all the accessories too. Just forgot to include in the album. The sight screwdriver is a work of art in itself!

Sorry, had to change from private to public in settings...I'm new to all this.

Beautiful pistol. At the November 2013 Tulsa show there was a large display of boxed S&W Registered Magnums, and at last April's show there were several of what appeared to be the same collection for sale.

Thank you Johnny P. High praise indeed.... ;-)

You should go to the Smith & Wesson site and show it off. You would probably get a ton of info on these guns. www.smith-wessonforum.com I have one with a 3 1/2 inch barrel that is a tack driver and fun to shoot.

Just posted it there. Thanks

Beautiful revolver!

There is a really good book out on the pre-WWII S&W .357 with emphasis on the Registered Magnums if you don't already have it.

K98, Have you ever found out anything/googled on the original owner

Johnny P..... how much/if any does it hurt to have the original owner's name engraved on the right side? It is so well done.. that either it was a S&W factory job........ or the work of a dern good jeweler/engraver.....my late father was both & a watchmaker too...........

[Johnny P]

Different opinions on that, but my opinion that if the engraving is done professionally and tastefully it doesn't hurt a thing. If the name happened to be S&W engraved, or the person the pistol was registered to it certainly adds to the pistol.
