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 413, is one of 735 Registered Magnums manufactured with an 8 3/4 inch barrel. It has a pinned Marble No. 35F blade front sight, adjustable "U" notched rear sight, S&W grip adaptor, unnumbered checkered grip featuring S&W medallions and trigger shoe. A factory service department star is stamped on the butt, and a factory June 1945 return date ("6.45") is stamped on the left side of the grip frame. Both are "cut-through" the finish which indicates the work performed was a repair or mechanical adjustment. No refinish marks are found and the bluing appears to be completely original. Matching serial numbers are on the butt, cylinder, and ejector shroud. Comes with the original S&W box correctly numbered to gun (white label with serial number and registration number).

Very fine, retaining 98% plus blue and casehardened finishes with limited handling marks and a cylinder drag line. The grips are excellent with crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The box is excellent showing edge wear and retaining much of the illustration on the exterior of the lid.
