In 2006 it was confiscated by the Swedish police as the Engineer's license was revoked. He was not deemed fit for a license as he owned an unlicensed gun and was convicted for a death threat he had mailed to a director of a government agency. The authorities kept the gun for 6 years, without examining it or comparing it to the bullets found at the site of the Palme assassination. According to protocols from the Palme investigation group, they wanted that all confiscated guns with the correct rifling to be examined. This was however often overlooked. In 2012 the Police sold all the confiscated guns to Värnamo Vapen & Sport. This company is known for selling large amounts of guns, and also exporting them. Hence it is possible that the Engineer's gun has found it's way outside of Sweden.

The Engineer's gun with the original stocks

N176038 is the serial number of a Smith & Wesson .357 Magnum mod 27-2. It was first bought by the Engineer (Ingenjören) in 1974. It has a 6 inch pinned barrel, target hammer and trigger. High gloss black. Patridge sight. It is probably fitted with Pachmayr presentation stocks.

In 2006 it was confiscated by the Swedish police as the Engineer's license was revoked. He was deemed unfit for a license as he owned an unlicensed gun and was convicted for a death threat he had mailed to a director of a government agency. The authorities kept the gun for 6 years, without examining it or comparing it to the bullets found at the site of the Palme assassination. According to protocols from the Palme investigation group, they wanted that all confiscated guns with the correct rifling to be examined. This was however often overlooked. In 2012 the Police sold all the confiscated guns to Värnamo Vapen & Sport. This company is known for selling large amounts of guns, and also exporting them. Hence it is possible that the Engineer's gun has found it's way outside of Sweden.

There is nothing illegal in selling, buying, owning, exporting, importing or otherwise handling a gun that has been confiscated and then sold by the police. Hence, the current owner should be the rightful owner of this gun.

There is a small chance that this gun was used in the assassination of Olof Palme. If so, the Swedish Police will reward the one who finds it with 10.000.000 SEK (apx 1.000.000 USD). That would make it one of the most valuable guns in the world. It is not known if the Police will keep it or return it to it's rightful owner. In previous cases (such as the gun collector's gun), it has been returned.

As the Palme investigation is closed, the Police is not looking for this gun and has no means to confiscate it regarding this crime.
