Oh, I see DA revolvers might fall into this category too. I submit my 5" full lug Model 29 from Smith & Wesson:

I had wanted to post a 4" M-19, my 5 1/2" Colt SAA with Ivories, and a few others....but ALL of them are on Photobucket....so I need to transfer them over one of these days.

Personally I favor pre-2000 S&W revolvers especially K-frames. He is a fine example of a model 10 .38 with a frame mounted firing pin & no lawyer lock $330:

I went with less common the last time, but really I can't think of anything much more "classic" than the Model 10 Smith & Wesson. Smith & Wesson made and still do make, millions of them. They went to war, they armed cops, and crooks, storekeepers and homeowners. They rode in holsters, coat pockets, glove-boxes, and sock drawers. They were used by experts and by people who never fired them. They served them all well.
10-2, 4" barrel
10-5, 4" barrel
10-5 with a 5" barrel

Classic? There are so many. Since this is only revolvers.... Model 10 Smith... Colt's .45 Peacemaker.... Colt Police Positive Special... Webley .455.... S&W 1950... and of course the Ruger Blackhawk.. I think of my Model 28 .357 Smith- pinned and recessed- as a classic too.

To me, the term "Classic" means blue steel & wood.
Like the S&W Model 10
Or an 1873 Colt Peacemaker (of course mine is a Uberti Clone.

I don't have page after page of dozens of mint condition collector grade guns like Drifty and Bob, but I do have my trusty .38:
Good little stopper. S&W M64. I practice with it a lot. Nowhere near as impressive as some who've posted here, but it's mine and I like it.

Beautiful! A classic, NO-BS Fighting Revolver. I carried one very similar (M65 loaded w/ .38Spl+P) for many years on duty, never felt at a disadvantage.

From the standpoint of aesthetics, for me a 3-1/2” S&W Registered Magnum 357 a-la George Patton’s “killing gun” as he called it, or both the K-Frame 2” Model 66 with round butt and 4” Model 19 with square butt really stand out. Another classic is Skeeter Skelton’s favorite 357, the 5” square butt Model 27.
Of the four, my “grail gun” is the long out of print 3-1/2” Registered Magnum from the 1930’s. I’ve got the others.

My idea of the classic revolver, as sold, is a four-inch Model 19 Smith & Wesson revolver. The, blue, pinned barrel, recessed chambered variety.
With a bit of after market work, I would prefer the same revolver with a round butt and a barrel just long enough to mount a full length extractor rod (about 3.5 inches).

I always thought this one was an eye catcher if you like shiny
