HI David, It looks good! Here is a good video review on it. Pretty cool piece This is the black version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0VmTY-x0SM

Found review - The Model 29 is a 44 mag like all other S&W 29's. Bluing is excellent as is the engraving. The grips are splendid but not at all glossy; the photo is a little off. A coat of Liquid Gold or Tung Oil is good for the wood grips. Better than shiny lacquer.

Only you can answer if it is worth the money. The gun looks very good and M29s shoot great. For me I would buy a plain non engraved version as my guns are valued as shooters. for the same reason I like Redhawks over the S&W M29

This pistol in my opinion is a "Safe Queen" to be collected. No engraving needed for a "Shooter" and the price difference can buy a round or two. Either way.... it shore is Purdy! https://www.topsideguns.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/61818-600x600.jpg

I could not justify spending an extra $120 for some engraving if this is going to be a shooter. Here's the same gun in working clothes. Remember that this gun will kick the snot out of you with full loads. https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/53539

If you like it, and have the money, get it. Plain and simple. It's not hand engraved, super expensive. Doubt anyone else at the range will have one, and you'll probably get complements.
