Help with 29-3 and 620

My son asked me about a couple of revolvers that he's looking at, but I wasn't much help since I'm more of a vintage S&W revolver guy. I'm hoping that some of you Forum gurus can help us out. I haven't been able to find any current values for these (GB, etc.), either.

The first is a blued Model 29-3 3" bbl. with RB combat stocks. The SCSW 4th Ed. notes this is a 29-3 Lew Horton Combat Magnum Special from 1984. The s/n is ALA9453 (101224), so I believe it's a Lew Horton and worth a few bucks. Thoughts?

The second is a Model 620 L-frame 7-shot .357 Magnum. I've actually never seen one of these (or its Model 619 cousin) and know nothing about them. SCSW 4th Ed. says that these were produced from 2005-2009. Were these popular or not? Are they collectable and/or valuable?

Thanks for any information that you can provide.
