Smith & Wesson Model 544 Texas Wagon Train Commemorative .44-40 Revolver – 5″ Barrel – Boxed –
This is a Smith & Wesson Model 544
commemorating the Texas Sesquicentennial (1836–1986), also known as the “Texas Wagon Train Commemorative.” Chambered in .44‑40 WCF
and featuring a 5″ barrel, it bears classic styling and celebratory markings. In 1986, Texas celebrated its 150th year of statehood. Many events took place to commemorate the year, including a six-month long wagon train that stopped at towns around a 3000-mile journey within the Lone Star state. This example comes in its original blue barnboard stained basswood display case. It's lined with blue felt—stamped with Texas-themed imagery—and includes standard factory paperwork. It has been fired but remains in excellent condition, with only a small area of wear at the tip of the barrel; the box top has a crack as pictured.

Collector Highlights
Serial numbers were set to begin with TWT0001 with a maximum of TWT7800, according to S&W published information. The TWT prefix is obvious, but the actual number of guns made is said to be 4782 (according to the Standard Catalog of S&W) with gaps in the middle of the run. This accounts for serial numbers as high as TWT5100.
Represents the only modern S&W chambered in .44‑40, celebrated with special engraving, inlays, and packaging.
Ideal for collectors of Texas memorabilia, commemorative firearms, or unique caliber revolvers.
