The Smith & Wesson Model 29 remains one of the most iconic American revolvers ever produced, famous for its craftsmanship, power, and cultural legacy. The 29-3 engineering variation, produced in the early 1980s, represents the later period of the classic pinned-and-recessed era style revolvers before subsequent production changes.
Based on consignor history and careful inspection, this revolver appears unfired outside of the factory. The revolver retains virtually 100% of its original deep factory bluing, displaying the rich mirror-like polish that Smith & Wesson revolvers of this era are known for.
The bore and chambers appear factory fresh, and the revolver shows no visible edge wear or handling marks, indicating extremely careful storage over its lifetime.
The revolver is fitted with its original light-colored Smith & Wesson presentation wood grips, which remain pristine and free of wear.
