The 2nd and 3rd model 44s, or a 45 ACP 1917 Commercial model are the only options that could have been produced in the 1928-'29 period.
But they're all N frames and of course won't carry as nice as the L frame 696. The two 44 models can be found with 4" barrels, the 3rd model easiest, which would carry a bit easier.
