Default 29-6 identification assistance

I found this 29-6 for sale locally. It is a blued 6.5" 44mag. It has an unfluted cylinder. I didn't see anything about it in the Standard Catalog. I'm curious if anyone could shed some light on it for me. I'm going to look at it Monday morning. It looks as though it has some holster wear and a bit of a spot on the barrel. He's asking $500, which seems fair to me. I'd love to have a blued endurance package 44mag. The unfluted cylinder is a big bonus to me.
Thanks!

I bought it.

It's a -5 and has a 6" barrel. The prefix is BEZ. It's not as clean as I was hoping, but it has a great action and excellent lockup.

The unfluted cylinder is still a mystery.

Does it have a round or square butt grip frame? Do you have the rest of the serial number? I have two different special runs with a BEZ pre-fix - one is 1 of 31 and the other is 1 of 150.
