Only approximately 5,400 Registered Magnums were manufactured between 1935 and 1939 and are virtually custom made revolvers that remain "state of the art" in handgun manufacture today. This particular Registered Magnum, number 2088, is one of 735 Registered Magnums manufactured with an 8 3/4 inch barrel. It has standard S&W markings with "REG. 2088" stamped on the inside of the frame, McGivern bead front sight, adjustable "U" notch rear sight and matching serial numbers on the butt, right grip panel, cylinder and ejector shroud. Consignor reports revolver had been in the family for 60 years.

Excellent, retaining 97% plus bright original high polish blue finish showing extremely light edge wear and cylinder drag line. 95% vivid original case colors remain on the hammer and trigger. The grips are very fine with a small chip missing near the bottom (right panel), otherwise crisp checkering overall. Mechanically excellent.
