Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
First introduced in 1956 as the ".44 Magnum Revolver" and officially designated the Model 29 in 1957, Smith & Wesson's large N-frame masterpiece stands as one of the most iconic firearms in modern history. Built at Smith & Wesson's Springfield, Massachusetts facility, the Model 29 was engineered specifically to handle Elmer Keith's high-pressure .44 Remington Magnum cartridge. The Model 29-2 engineering revision, produced from 1962 until 1982, represents the absolute zenith of Smith & Wesson's classic double-action revolver craftsmanship. Defined by the traditional pinned barrel construction (a locking pin securing the barrel threads into the receiver frame) and fully recessed cylinder chambers (counterbored cylinder flutes designed to enclose cartridge rims completely), the 29-2 incorporated premium features such as a wide checkered Target Hammer, a smooth target trigger mechanism, and brilliant high-polish blue steel craftsmanship. Considered by collectors to be the last true "classic era" .44 Magnum, the Model 29-2 holds legendary status among investment-grade revolver enthusiasts.
This specific example is an authentic, highly collectible Smith & Wesson Model 29-2 manufactured between 1972 and 1974, bearing desirable N-prefix serial number N68131 stamped on the frame crane cutout. Chambered in .44 Remington Magnum, this fine N-frame example features the rare and sought-after 4-inch heavy barrel complete w/ factory Mag-Na-Port dual trapezoidal barrel ports designed to significantly mitigate muzzle rise. True to its desirable 29-2 heritage, it features a factory Pinned Barrel, Recessed Cylinder Chambers, a wide checkered Target Hammer, and a wide serrated Target Trigger. The factory blued carbon steel finish retains exceptional mirror-like depth w/ deep luster, clean frame roll-marks, and minimal operational cylinder drag lines. Upgraded for comfortable shooting, it comes fitted w/ a Hogue rubber Monogrip and includes a classic Bianchi 10L vintage brown leather holster. Mechanically, the action locks up w/ bank-vault tightness, trigger pull breaks crisp, and the 4-inch Mag-Na-Ported bore remains mirror-bright w/ sharp rifling throughout. Offered complete w/ its period leather holster, this custom Mag-Na-Ported Model 29-2 represents a premier acquisition for S&W collectors and big-bore handgun connoisseurs.
