This is a .357 Magnum, 4” pinned barrel with an excellent bore. It may be unfired other than factory. This lovely Combat Magnum revolver is lightly embellished to honor the Highway Patrolman serving the great state of Tennessee and is part of a 600 gun run manufactured in 1979. This gun is as-new-in-the-box with wonderful condition. The metal surfaces retain about 99% original blue finish with a few insignificant storage marks. The .500” target trigger and .500” target hammer retain beautiful swirls of case-hardened colors. The smooth goncalo alves factory target grips feature silver S&W medallions, speed loader cut, the right panel has a similar speed loader cut to show the engraved crest on the sideplate, and they remain in excellent condition. One slight ding in wood grip. This gun features a red ramp front sight, white outline micro adjustable rear sight, and excellent timing and lockup. The markings have gold fill that stands out beautifully on the rich blue finish. The sideplate has the crest of the Tennessee Highway Patrol and the right side of the barrel is marked “TENNESSEE HIGHWAY PATROL / 1929-1979”. The revolver includes the original wood display box & cardboard over-box.  This is a tastefully executed commemorative built on the ever-popular Combat Magnum platform. An excellent opportunity for the collector.
