Manufactured between 1956 and 1957. Matching serial number on the butt, cylinder (sans "S" prefix) and frame. The desirable 5 inch barrel is unnumbered. Fitted with serrated red ramp front and white outline rear sights and checkered walnut grips with silver Smith & Wesson medallions. Most likely shipped to H. H. Harris Co., in Chicago as one of the 500 they ordered with 5 inch barrels, an order that took several years to fill. Includes a Smith & Wesson 44 Magnum case with cleaning tools and screwdriver.

Excellent overall, retaining 98% plus original blue finish with some light handling marks, a light cylinder drag line, and crisp grip checkering. Mechanically excellent. Case is very good with separated lid lining.
