Collectible S&W Revolvers produced from 1957 to Present

Don’t know how collectible these are, but I like ‘em...

S&W, model 24-3, .44 Special, 4” barrel, mfg. 1983-1984 - 2,625 manufactured. Awesome revolver, very fun to shoot.

S&W, model 610 (no dash), 10mm, 5” barrel, mfg. 1989-92 - 4,560 total manufactured, 5” barrel numbered around 2,000 or so (if anyone knows the exact number, please let me know). Hands down the best, most accurate, most fun revolver I own. If you’ve ever shot a 610, especially in the 5” barrel, you know what I’m talking about.

Alright, so I haven't posted anything in awhile and wanting to stay with my .44 theme I'll show you this one. It's an Alaska Backpacker with only 500 made. I think these are collectible because of the low number produced, plus it's a big bore snub. This is a dash four 629 and it's hard to see from the pics, but the trigger is MIM with the hammer being tooled steel. The combat stocks did not come with this gun it had hogues on it.
Anyway, hope you enjoy

Here is one more for ya, the Avenger . With only 151 produced these 629-4's are seldom seen. The book says these came in fluted and unfluted versions; however I've never seen an unfluted one. Factory quad porting gives it that don't mess with me look, while the rosewood badger stocks allow for ample grip to tame the 44 mag recoil.
If you have seen a unfluted version please chime in, I'd like to hear about it.
Enjoy,

Here is another one that might is pretty interesting!

a very nice 60-1 with its original box. 3inch heavy pinned barrel with Square butt

Believed to be the first one of the 171 made. All the parts for these were made in the early part of 1970s in the experimental department at smith & Wesson and rather than scrap them they assembled 171. The serial range begins with R56962 which means this by serial number is the first square butt model 60 put into production

I believe this is a '69 model 10, with near mint nickel finish. The grips leave something to be desired but the gun is beautiful, me thinks.
