Gorgeous pieces of art. I have Reg. #4310 serial 57521 made in 1939. 6 1/2 inch barrel, engraved, one side has a cowboy in a bucking bronco and the other an eagle - possibly Orville Kuhl's work. Kings front night sight, Kings rear sight and hammer is stamped "Kings Cockeyed Hammer" but flared on both sides (weird). Has gold strip inlaid running down the back with someone's name engraved on it. LOVE IT! wish I could get one I wouldn't mind shooting every now and then.
We've sold a VERY similar sounding one in 2020. Reg #4817, SN 58781, 6 1/2-inch barrel, with the same gold eagle, bronco, and multitone gold flowers he frequently used. Grips were carved and phenomenal. Sounds like you got yourself a real beaut!
@@wizardofahhhs759 I have many N frames in .357, 45LC, 45 acp, 44 Magnum...but wish I had a shooter Registered Magnum. I've seen and bid on several on GB but end up getting a little too high.
The one I own was my Grandfathers, given to my dad, then me. I have the registration certificate, and a copy of the letter from my grandfather to Smith & Wesson, on the back stating that he had given the gun to my dad. The letter is dated 1947. This puppy shoots great and is the smoothest feeling pistol I have ever felt. Thanks for the video, it is great.
Entirely off-topic, but there's something about S&W revolvers and their popularity with police. When I think of law enforcement through the early '80s, I picture the well-kempt officer with the .357 Magnum on his hip and maybe mirrored sunglasses. I had a police surplus Model 19 that was stolen, and now have a new Model 29. They lack the history and most definitely the value of these Registered Magnums, but the classic S&W lines are there. Again, off-topic, but I've always considered S&W to be basically standard issue for cops decades ago, with Colt filling a niche for better funded departments and Ruger being seen in the holsters of many private security guards. Maybe it's just me. Nowadays, it's body armor, load carrying vests, cargo pants, and Glocks being worn by most cops. Call me weird, but the mid-20th Century cop wearing a tie and N-frame revolver seems like more of an authority figure.
They were popular with law enforcement because they were cheaper than COLTS. I like both, the COLT has a more refined and balanced feel to it as the S&W seems a little overbuilt and heavy.
i've shot one. a range regular has a registered magnum 8 3/8 that he brings out once a year. he let me shoot 2 rounds through it. it was smooth. the checkering on top of the barrel and topstrap was nice. his gun was from around the 2nd yr of production.
I have an older model 27, bought it years ago. Was going to buy a python but liked the S&W better Plus at $325 it was $75 cheaper then the Python! Should have bought both of them
Outstanding presentation on the Historical Smith & Wesson's 357 , Each Revolver is One of a kind, ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL, that engraved 3" is SO BEAUTIFUL. It's amazing the condition, they are incredible peices history ! 🤪😍❤️🏆Wow !!!!!!
Hard to disagree with Roy Jinks and his assertion that this is the most important handgun of all time. The RM’s are unobtainable, but the pre-27’s from the 1950’s are fabulous too.

Wow.. Just wow. Decided to sub on the basis of this video..
Glad to have you.
Me too, and I am a South African.
May God Bless America, and all the TRUE PATRIOTS.
Don't forget General George Patton's 3 1/2" barrel length Registered Magnum. It is not for sale but deserves an honorable mention.
..a specialli made replica..by S&W was at by the Patton museum 52 years ago when I took AIT.
Used'ta soend all my free there.
The 357 has always been my favorite round. It has so many uses compared to other calibers and it's fun to shoot.
I have big hands ...i love long barrels but i want small wood grips

@@RockIslandAuctionCompany Just saw it on your website. Wow...love those grips.
@@sonparabailarYou DO have one you can shoot, you just WON'T for whatever reason.

Dang Matt. That gave me goosebumps!
I'll have to say, they're handsome looking pistols
Another great history lesson from RIA.
The Roper grips on Baughman's gun were actually made by Mattias Gagne, Albert (who you mentioned) was his son.
Pinnacle of modern American revolver design and construction.
WOW! What a great presentation. I love and my favorite caliber is the .357. Thank you for sharing.
60 Dollars is equal to just under 1400 Bucks today, I would say that even that is a steal for a handmade item.
In a good economy sure, but this is the depression
That’s close to what I payed for my 27-2 5 inch this weekend
Legendary so amazing the history the stories fascinating
So, who did the cockeyed hammer? Looks like a King job?
Excellent !!! Well done 👏
A wonderful presentation.

Neato!
1 '22" i love small grips !!! Its easy to install same on your modern 19/586/27😊 for badass look
I have an older model 27, bought it years ago. Was going to buy a python but liked the S&W better
Plus at $325 it was $75 cheaper then the Python!
Should have bought both of them
Hi Cameron does Pattons family have his guns!?
wow
this thin panel grips are so Badass in long barrel

My ultimate goal in life: come work for you guys! (and spend every cent I've ever earned at your auctions)
That annoying, he-haw, chuck wagon music in the background really sets the tone.
Great presentation. What stood out to me was the following of Lee Harvey Oswald. Yet the agencies were not together enough to save Kennedy.
4597 there has had the hammer re-checkered. The pattern should be square, looks like someone got aggressive with a file on it.
Hard to disagree with Roy Jinks and his assertion that this is the most important handgun of all time. The RM’s are unobtainable, but the pre-27’s from the 1950’s are fabulous too.
That last revolver looks like it has a notch on one side of the grips. Wonder if there’s a story there..
Naice guns
OMGosh!
Send me all of them please.
Nowadays you don't know what you get
Hey chief: “later predecessors” isn’t a thing…
Knows his guns, but dude, it's pronounced "Sue-Saint-Marie". The "Sue" Hardware Company.
Soo is pronounced Sue. and Sault Ste. Marie is pronounced Sue Saint Marie.
This guy sounds like a used car salesman.

Amazing!!!!!!!!
