Smith & Wesson  The .357 Magnum 50th Year Anniversary Commemorative  Revolver
serial #REG0013, 357 Magnum, 5" barrel with an excellent bore. This fine tribute to the magnum revolver that started it all has Roy Jinks special factory number and remains in wonderful condition. The metal surfaces retain about 99% plus original blue with a faint turn ring on the cylinder. The .400" serrated target trigger and .500" target hammer retain bold case-hardened colors. The smooth goncalo alves factory target grips with silver S&W medallions rate excellent. The right side of the barrel is gold filled, engraved "50th Anniversary / S&W 357 Magnum" flanked by "1935 and 1985". The sideplate has a few sprigs of gold filled loose scroll engraving flanking "The / First / Magnum / April 8, 1935". The gun features a Baughman ramp front sight and black blade adjustable rear sight. The revolver is displayed in a hardwood presentation case with a S&W logo etched into the cover and a brass plate marked "The First Magnum / 50th Anniversary / 1935 – 1985". The French fitted case rates excellent with a few light handling marks. The case is lined with blue crushed velvet and has a certificate displayed on the inside of the cover. This certificate gives the particulars on the revolver like the originals did, the ammunition and hold used to sight in the gun, plus it lists the owner as Roy G. Jinks. Only 2,501 guns were made in 1985. This gun has a low serial number and remains as new in the box. (8A11739-156) {C&R} [Former Roy Jinks Collection] (1500/2000)
