Smith & Wesson Model 29 .44 Magnum

This is another of my Dad's firearms. Quintessentially.

He bought it new many years ago, back in about '75...

When a fellow named Clint Eastwood was making movies...

...Dirty Harry movies...

"Feel lucky, Punk?"
There are a lot of .44 Magnum handguns, and all of them have their values and detractions.
All of them except this one.
This is a classic.
This IS the .44 Magnum!
My father has bequeathed it into my care for now, but like his M-1 Garand, this one will ALWAYS be "My fathers pistol".
