I recently purchased a S&W M29-2 in bright nickel, with 4 inch barrel. The factory informs me that this was made in 1972.
The revolver came with white (ivory colored) plastic grips with the S&W medallion. I've not seen these before (I'm not a collector or any sort of expert regarding Smith revolvers), and the customer service rep at S&W (nice guy, by the way) mentioned that these were not common. He went on to say that a tremendous range of options were available for their revolvers during that time, and that it might have been an example of that customization at the time that the revolver was originally ordered.
Anyone have any info on these grips? I'm not expecting anything special, but not having seen this type before, I am curious.
Thanks!
