Item Description
According to the consignor, this Smith & Wesson U.S. Border Patrol Commemorative carries especially strong provenance, having reportedly been originally owned by legendary S&W historian Roy Jinks, with his address appearing on the original shipping box. It was then owned by the Border Patrol Agent who consigned it. He also states that the gun has remained unfired and the cylinder never turned during his ownership. That ownership history gives this revolver a level of collector interest well beyond a standard commemorative example, as Roy Jinks is one of the most important names associated with Smith & Wesson history, factory research, and collector documentation. Adding to its desirability, this revolver is noted as number 105 of only 3,138 produced, placing it very early in the limited commemorative run. The combination of U.S. Border Patrol commemorative significance, extremely low issue number, original shipping-box provenance tied to Roy Jinks, and subsequent Border Patrol Agent ownership makes this example a standout piece for both Smith & Wesson collectors and law-enforcement commemorative collectors.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson Model 66 No-Dash U.S. Border Patrol 50th Anniversary revolver is a desirable commemorative variant of the stainless K-frame Combat Magnum, produced to honor the 50th anniversary of the United States Border Patrol. Built on the early no-dash Model 66 platform, it retains the classic pinned-barrel era appeal that collectors associate with Smith & Wesson’s earlier stainless magnum revolvers. Chambered in .357 Magnum, the Model 66 was essentially the stainless counterpart to the Model 19, offering a balance of durability, practical carry size, and magnum performance that made it popular with law enforcement and serious shooters. This commemorative edition, limited to 1 of 3,138, adds additional collector interest through its U.S. Border Patrol association, special-edition status, and early Model 66 configuration. As both a classic Smith & Wesson revolver and a law-enforcement commemorative, it represents a strong crossover piece for collectors of K-frame magnums, agency-marked firearms, and limited-production Smith & Wesson revolvers.
