This gun has only recently come out of the woods.
A Five Inch Performance Center Model 629-3 with Fixed Sights:
Traditional Square Notch Rear and Double Action Only. The Hammer does not have a single action notch:
Dovetailed Brass Bead protrudes like a McGivern Bead, but is not quite as domed and has straight sides:
Trigger Stop and Chamfered Cylinder:
Did I forget to tell you it is in 45 Colt?
A letter to the original owner in February, 1997. Gwinnett County is one of the original five counties making up the metro Atlanta area. It is the second largest county in Georgia by population. The MAB prefix on the serial number is the owner's initials:
Interesting One Piece Grips. We have no idea if they are original or not. Unfortunately, the Box or Case is lost to time and circumstance.
The gun did still have two custom rigs with it from the original owner. They are extremely high quality. All are lined in suede. I can't find any logos or markings anywhere on them. The shoulder rig reminds me of a ******* (now Galco). Note the J frame backup holster. The J frame is mine, NOT his. Both guns ride horizontally and the pouches still hold two HKS speedloaders for the 45. Both rigs show obvious signs of being worn. The gun shows obvious signs of being carried and shot, though it has had a careful deep cleaning that removed all carbon.
The open front pancake is a masterpiece:
