Protyotype Model 629 assembled in November 1978. For more on this neat revolver, see my expert commentary, Prototype Model 629 "with a story to tell" (Courtesy of Roy Jinks).

Thanks for posting Bill.

I don't believe a long tube N frame can look much finer than this one does. I am a blued steel/good wood guy, but the P&R 629's really catch my eye.

The finish looks "satin" or brushed stainless. I wish they made 'em like that now.

Fantastic looking 629 and they are one handsome handful.
 
629

I have one I'm sure is in the eighty's but not sure of mfg. or if box is period correct. No barrel pin and cylinder is not recessed. 629-1 #N9XXXXX

We bought this 629-1 N936526 from the original owner in 1985 with the idea that when my wife Sharon drew a bear tag she would use it to harvest a bear. Anyone that knows Sharon can tell (by the color of her hair) this was a while ago.
After reading Bills commentary about Roy's hunting trip made me think about this hunt and thought I'd share the photo

Bill.. the bear is hanging on the wall and Sharon just drew a harvest tag for 2010 and is trying to decide which gun to use and where to hang the next trophy if she is lucky enough to get a shot.
