I recently saw a S&W Revolver in 45 colt in Anchorage, Ak in a retail store. It had the engravings of a Rams head, "Rocky Mountain Ram" and "1 of 300".

Does anyone know the story on this gun. I went to the Smith&Wesson website and could nto find anything about it.

Thanks

  could not locate any info in the S&W Standard Catalog, but as this would have to be a special production run it is possible that a run that small would not be listed.
  
  If you've purchased this revolver your best bet is to get a factory S&W letter that will give you the details. Last time I got a factory letter, several years ago, the price was $25, but it may be a little more now days.
  
  Maybe one of the other members will have some more info for you.
  
  
  If you only have time to do two things so-so, or one thing well ... do the one thing!

  I don't know the story on this one, but I'm quite sure that the story is boring. There are hundreds, maybe thousands, of "special editions" such as this produced by S&W. If you wanted to order 100 guns marked "friggamo commemorative #1 of 500", you could do so. Any individual, group, or distributor can order 1 or more special versions of just about any gun in their current catalog; price will be based on volume & the cost of features & embellishments.
  
  "Special editions" all have 1 thing in common: They are expensive when bought new, but resale price is rarely more than the "plain" version of the gun in similar condition.
