Default Please help on letter on produced 629-3

Hello all, And hope all are well. I help a question about a Letter I received about a 629-3 PC 3 inch Quad Port Lew Horton. The question is, In the letter it saying that a 150 units was produced for Lew Horton. Does that mean a 150 units total was make or only 150 was make for Lew Horton?. Did Smith PC make more, It really don't say in the letter.
Thanks for the help,
Mac

Those 150 were specific to Lew Horton's specifications and, unless they did a re-order, that's all that were made!

Those 150 pieces made under that specific product code are a Lew Horton Exclusive offering. Unless Lew Horton made more after yoru letter was written, 150 is all there are

Other Distributors had similar revolvers that were exclusive to them. For example, the very rare 629 Avenger (170058) was pretty much the same revolver but with an unfluted cylinder. 26 were made for a different distributor

The 3" 629 platform spawned many Distibutor Exclusives from the late 1980s to the early 2000s
