Product code for these uncommon fixed sight Model 629-5's was 103839.

I've seen three that were still with their factory boxes. All three had a November 15, 1999 ship date, and the s/n's were in the same range mentioned in your factory letter.

Another source I saw said 300 were made. If that's accurate, perhaps there was another shipment. Not many stainless N-frames with a fixed sight top strap. Very unusual.
