Had these out recently and decided I should take a photo or two.
I've had the Model 17 for 20 plus years and has always been one of my favorite trail guns.
Was made @1959.
Found the stag grips at a show a few years ago for $50.
An uncle gave me the Model 29 about ten years ago. He asked me to move a refrigerator for him.
The 29 was sitting on the top of the frige in it's mahogany case, two boxes of shells and a note that said
"Thanks and have fun with the .44!" That was Cool!!
He said he bought it new in the '60s and only fired it a few times.
The stag grips on that one came off a Model 27 I had for a breif time.

I have a weakness for Smiths, expecially those of the inter war years. And I must say, regardless of when they were made, those are some very attractive handguns. The "family" connection with the .44 no doubt makes it even more special to you.

I've always wanted a Mach 1!
At one time I wanted a 4" or 6" 29 to with it( That's a sharp 29 Mr. Cook!). Still do actually but I need to replace a .45 Colt that I shouldn't have sold.
Thanks for the nice words guys!

Belonged to my Great Aunt Julia. I keep holsters and gunbelts in there.
I like to walk through our bedroom in the middle of the night and kick it
with my litttle toe just to make sure it's stll there.
Keep trying to move it but Blondie says it "looks nice where it is". Sometimes the argument just isn't worth the effort.

Geez, all I ever got helping a friend or family move was a backache!

Love the revolvers! I bet taking woodchucks with the .44mag is fun! I do not have a .44mag, but I could load my original Vaquero in .45Colt to .44mag levels. That would surely be enough for these SW Ohio "groundhogs".
