Atlas Collectible Firearms is profoundly honored to present this breathtaking 1982 production Smith & Wesson Model 686 "No Dash" Distinguished Combat Magnum. Chambered in the powerful .357 Magnum with a 4-inch full-lug barrel, this stainless steel L-frame masterpiece has been transformed into a museum-quality work of art by renowned FEGA Certified Master Engraver Bruce Shaw. This specimen represents the inaugural era of the 686, highly coveted for its traditional pre-lock design and robust engineering.
This spectacular revolver features full-coverage, deep-relief hand engraving meticulously executed by Bruce Shaw, including intricate scrollwork across the frame, cylinder, and barrel. The metalwork is further elevated by a solid 24k gold 1-inch S&W medallion expertly hand-sculpted & inlaid into the right side of the stainless steel frame. The artistry is definitively signed "SHAW" on the right side front of the frame, serving as a permanent mark of its elite custom pedigree.
Complementing the masterful engraving are an extremely rare pair of genuine Pre-Ban Elephant Ivory S&W target grips. These premium grips feature exquisite hand-scrimshawed eagle scenes, providing a stunning organic contrast to the polished steel. Every detail of this firearm reflects the height of bespoke craftsmanship, from the precision metalwork to the museum-grade ivory carving.
This investment-grade package is 100% complete, arriving in a custom deluxe fitted wood presentation case with a maroon velvet interior. The firearm remains in pristine collector condition, exhibiting absolute New Old Stock (NOS) characteristics with no signs of handling or use since the custom work was completed. This masterfully embellished Model 686 stands as a premier centerpiece for the world's most distinguished Smith & Wesson collections.
