Thought I would share my collection of pre-lock 629's with a brief description of each. Enjoy. If you have any rare ones, please show them off here.
Anybody love 629's?

Seriously you really doubt that there isn’t a lot of love around this place for the model 629, I was extremely lucky to have been able to hang out with the King of the 629 Wayne R Hazelrigg, At one time Wayne’s 629 collection was the most complete the world and I am lucky enough to have a couple of them.
This was his personal Model 629-1 Classic hunter that began life, (before all you guys start picking it apart) as a 6 inch. It was returned to Smith & Wesson and barreled to a 5 inch, this particular 5 inch barrel was one of two that was built for European market, but then they decided not produce it. I have all the paperwork from Smith & Wesson along with the historical society letter authenticating it.
It’s kinda hard to read, but that serial number is BBB 6294 which Wayne thought that was pretty unique.

Ace, you should've waited a few days for 6/29 day. 
I'd like to see some of your guns individually and get a better detailed look.

I have this one to share…
I completely agree my model 629–4 power port is amongst the most accurate 44 magnums I’ve ever fired!

Here's a photo of my rarest 629, an unfired 3" S&W 629-3 PC Carry Comp II:

In 1993 I went from the largest police department in the state to the smallest sheriff's office. The danger was no longer genuine gangsters in numbers, but top-tier predators to include bears, wolves, cougars, and drunken 300 pound loggers tearing the bar up at 0200 hrs. with their 30" industrial chain saws. So I put my 9mm away and strapped on this. We were poor, so I loaded practice ammo on a Dillon Square Deal in an anteroom of the office in the basement of the courthouse.
