Less than 9,000 Auto-Mags were produced by all manufacturers. This is an original Pasadena model of which 3,300 were manufactured in .44 AMP caliber only with 6-1/2" vent rib barrel. The handgun was made famous in the 1983 Dirty Harry movie "Sudden Impact". This pistol comes in original plastic carry case with the original May 1971 dated manual with bullet chart. It was subsequently engraved by Ben Shostle, a charter member of the Firearms Engravers Guild of American in Munci, Indiana. His certificate of engraving, dated 1994, lists this manufacture, model, caliber, and serial number (he wrote serial No. A01939 instead A01959). Has deep scroll and leaf engraving on frame, barrel and trigger guard done in the deep chiseled relief Germanic style. Has the stainless steel polished finished with black composite grips. Appears to have never been fired since finished. Mint action and near mint bore. Sports adjustable target sights. Simply a fantastic, early AMT Auto-Mag. Box hinge is broken.
