Item Description
Bryant Ridge Co. is pleased to present this SUPER RARE double-action revolver today for a penny-start auction; this is the Smith & Wesson 586-3 US Customs Bicentennial!
According to the owner, this limited Commemorative, with a production of only 610, was only issued to active and retired U.S. Customs Inspectors and that this example has remained in his possession as a U.S. Customs Inspector since 1989, when he received it directly from S&W, and that the gun is unfired and that the cylinder has never been turned. The partially visible drag line is solely due to the factory test firing, rather than being the result of later handling or use and we see no evidence to indicate otherwise!
The original completed order form for the gun purchase is included.
