629 ND

[five 0]

LGS has a 629 no dash that has a bright finish. Would this revolver have come from the factory with a bright finish, and if so how would the box be marked?

Personally I wouldn't care if it was a Standard or Bright finish, the no-dash 629 is the only P&R 629. How long is the barrel, and how much for it?

Not original finish. Not many around though.
I won a bid on GB a few months back on a 629 ND 8 3/8 at $1159
and the other day a 4” for $1350 OTD shipped just FYI.
6” is going for about the same as 8 3/8.
You can restore the original finish with scotch brite so I am told by member on here.
Anything much over 1300 - 1400 for the 6” I’d pass

4 inch P&R. $1000. On an original finish gun how is the box marked?

I don't mind altered guns. I got a scratched 629 "Truck gun" and I polished it and had the markings laser engraved back to replace the shallow S&W markings.

I wouldn't let the polished finish stop me at $1k. Don't see the 4 inch very often. Pictures please. . . and until you post them, here's mine.

I have a 6.5 " and 8 3/8" no dash. I have bid on a couple 4" on Gunbroker and they sold for north of $2,000. Still looking. So go figure.

At $1000 I’d be standing at the door waiting for them to open up. Check it out for timing and end shake. If all is good I wouldn’t be able to get the cash out of my pocket fast enough !

Found this N-prefix 629 ND on Sunday afternoon at Phoenix Crossroads show December 2023. It was one of three firearms remaining on a private seller's table. Used but clean, tight, and wearing old Pachmayr target grips. After a little back and forth I walked away with it, my wallet lighter by $950. I scrounged a set of football target stocks from the woodpile. Happy to have it and display alongside a pair of 6" 629-4's, SB and RB.

Well, did you go back and buy it ? Inquiring minds wanna know.

Like this?
It was pretty battered when I found it.
Rubbing on it seemed at the time the best fix.

five 0, that looks great to me. If you got that for $1k or less I think you did very well, it may be awhile before you see another for sale. Congrats.

Picked it up today. Box not correct and it had Houge rubber grips. Unable to find a 2 piece box but did find a Model 14 8 3/8 barrel with RR & WO and 3 T's I forgot about.

That's a good looking gun.

There are factory polished 629's. It would take a letter for me to believe it. I work in a tool shop...with the right tools, it's not that hard.
