Dan Combs S&W 686 Commemorative

[DRC458]

Looking to get a little help and information.

Have access to a S&W 686 that is in a presentation case with the designation "Captain Dan Combs Commemorative".

Gun is unfired with all of the original parts, badges, etc. Even the Original cardboard case.

I was wondering if anyone knew anything about this or if there was anyone that is a Oklahoma Highway Patrol collector or S&W Collector that can give me some help.

Many thanks in advance.

I think my blood pressure just pegged. He absolutely amazed me. When I was a kid, I know I had to be quite a sight, standing there with my mouth agape watching him.

Always looked forward to his fast draw safety talk in HS. In his day you had to be 6 ft tall to apply for the academy.
I grabbed one at a gun show about 20 years ago 500$.

Do you still have it? Or did you do what most of us do? Sell and regret later?

Actually, I'm trying to find a value for it.

Friend of mine purchased it from someone and might want to sell it, but we really don't have an idea as to value.
I'm guessing around the 2K+ area.

2k sounds wayyyyy 2 high to me! I was thinking 1000.00 to 1250.00 maybe.

THAT is awesome. Wish I could say the same. I have Had a lot of firearms that I should have kept. Unfortunately, I am no longer in possession of them.

got one here too. Also have the Rem 742 30-06 that he used in his aerial exhibition demonstrations that he gave to me. He was a dear friend and hunting partner for many years. Many fond memories hunting with him. Spent a few days with him and Bill Jordon (Border Patrol) shooting prairie dogs (lots of war stories told around the camp fires on that trip).

Man, I wish I was there to hear them. Bill Beirschmidt told me of one of his escapades. They were on a roadblock and getting out of the car he was pulling out his M1 carbine and BAM! Through the floorboard, through the wheelwell, through the rubber, through the steel wheel through the tire again and plopped onto the roadway.
