Item Description
Bryant Ridge Co. is pleased to present this scarce semi-automatic pistol today for a penny-start auction; this is the Smith & Wesson 4006 West Virginia Conservation Officer 100th Anniversary.
The Smith & Wesson 4006 West Virginia Conservation Officer 100th Anniversary pistol is generally accepted as approximately 200 pistols produced. These were produced as a limited commemorative run to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the West Virginia Conservation Officer program, and they were primarily made for members of the agency and affiliated individuals rather than broad commercial distribution. Because the Smith & Wesson Model 4006 itself was a rugged third-generation duty pistol introduced in 1990 alongside the .40 S&W cartridge, this commemorative variant combined the proven stainless-steel service platform with special anniversary markings and presentation elements. Limited agency commemoratives like this were typically produced in very small batches, which is why surviving examples—especially those retaining the original box, papers, and commemorative package—are considered particularly desirable among collectors of law-enforcement–related Smith & Wesson pistols.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson Model 4006 West Virginia Conservation Officer 100th Anniversary pistol is a special commemorative variation of Smith & Wesson’s rugged all-stainless .40 S&W duty pistol, produced to honor a century of service by West Virginia’s conservation law enforcement officers. The Model 4006 itself was one of the most respected pistols of Smith & Wesson’s Third Generation series, widely adopted by law enforcement agencies throughout the United States for its durability, reliability, and robust stainless-steel construction. Chambered in .40 S&W and featuring a traditional double-action/single-action operating system with slide-mounted safety/decocker, the 4006 became synonymous with hard-use police service during the 1990s and early 2000s. What makes the West Virginia Conservation Officer 100th Anniversary edition particularly desirable is its commemorative status and limited production, typically marked with special engraving or rollmarks acknowledging the centennial of the state’s conservation enforcement program. These pistols were produced primarily for members of the agency or for presentation purposes, rather than broad commercial sale, which significantly limits the number that entered the general collector market. As law enforcement agencies have transitioned away from metal-framed duty pistols to polymer designs, Third Generation Smith & Wesson pistols—especially commemorative or agency-marked examples—have become increasingly collectible. For enthusiasts of law enforcement history and Smith & Wesson service pistols alike, the 4006 West Virginia Conservation Officer 100th Anniversary stands as a meaningful tribute to both the officers who carried them and the era of robust American-made duty pistols they represent.
