The non-registered .357 revolvers are much more rare than their Registered Magnum model counterparts with only about 1,400 manufactured compared to about 5,400 Registered Magnums. King mirror base front sight with red post insert, adjustable square notch rear sight, humpback hammer, right grip panel numbered to a different gun, and matching serial numbers on the butt, cylinder and ejector shroud. Confirmed by the S&W Historian's Office as being originally shipped with a 6 inch barrel on July 29, 1940 to the W.H. Hoegee Co. in Los Angeles, CA. This ultra rare and desirable prewar S&W .357 Magnum is from the collection of famous American country singer and song writer Hank Williams Jr. and includes a certificate of authenticity confirming his ownership.
