ThorOdinson: That 29 dates from 1961 (or possibly late 1960). That would make it a "no dash" model, pinned and recessed, and it is indeed a 4-screw. One of the three sideplate screws is hidden under the grip - the screw that makes it a 4-screw is the one immediately in front of the trigger guard. That's the one that was dropped to create the 3-screw design that is still used today. Depending on condition, I know I'd sure be drooling. According to SCSW, the "no dash" 29s command a premium of a few hundred dollars over the 29-2 and later models. (The 29-1s are ultra rare and bring a 2-3X premium). What does the hock shop want for it?
