Description:

The accompanying factory letter lists this revolver with a 6 inch barrel, Call gold bead sight, square notch rear sight, blue finish, and checkered walnut Magna grips when shipped to Charles A. Bogert Co., Sandusky, Ohio, on March 23, 1937. This is one of 839 Registered Magnums manufactured with 6 inch barrels. Included photocopies of the S&W order form and shipping invoice from March 1937 confirm the information listed in the factory letter. Standard S&W markings with "REG. 2106" stamped on the yoke, right grip panel numbered to a different gun, and matching serial numbers on the butt, ejector shroud, and cylinder. Comes with an unnumbered, period correct Registered Magnum box. Handmade to order by Smith & Wesson's in-house craftsmen and individually registered to the owner, the Registered Magnums show a level of fit and finish beyond the already high standard the firm set during that era, making them contenders for the title of finest revolver ever made.

Rating Definition:

Excellent, retaining 98% plus original blue and casehardened finishes showing light handling marks, slight muzzle wear, and a cylinder drag line. The grips are also excellent with a few minor dings and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The box is very good showing moderate edge wear.
