Tools for S&W Model 57

[thebabybrahma]

Picked up a nice S&W Model 57 .41 mag with presentation case, but it doesn't have any of the cleaning tools or whatever came with it. Need to know what is supposed to be in the case and where I might find them. thanks guys

If I remember my model 29 from the 70's, it came with an aluminum cleaning rod, brush, cotton swab and a flat blade screwdriver with a silver handle.

 

Here it is:

That sounds about right. I've had several Smiths missing these items over the years. Nice to have them, but not absolutely necessary unless you are a fanatic, purist, collector that must have it all orginal.

 

Would be nice though, wouldn't it.

You'll want the paperwork as well. You'll sooner or later find what you want on gunbroker, ebay, or in the classified section of Smith-Wesson.com. Heck, I want to see pics of the revolver! What barrel length?

I've got one here; a 4" in nickel. Man it is smooth and fun to shoot. It is a reloader's cartridge, however.

 

I'm still on the hunt for a reasonably priced model 58, 4". The 57 isn't seen every day, but the fixed sighted 58 is like finding teeth in a chicken.
