Do S&W Model 24's in Nickel with a 6.5" bbl actually exist?

['79 Magnum GT]

I have just started looking for one to complete my little collection of S&W 44 Special revolvers. I've got a M-24-6 in blue and a M-624 in S.S. both with 6.5" bbls.
Can't find a nickel one, never even seen a picture of one. I only began my quest a month or so ago after I got the afore mentioned models. Are they that rare? If so will I have to pay through
every bodily orifice to obtain one? I check GunBroker every day with a specific search but they are always blue or S.S. It's not imperative if I never get one but would be nice if I could.
Any assistance out there?

Thanks,

Rick

I had a 1950's vintage pre-24 6.5" in nickel about Twenty years ago. Probably a factory refinish, with a boxed N on the side of the grip frame, but somebody wanted it like it factory original and paid accordingly, happily! I wasn't even try to sell it.
Have yet to see a -3 in nickel, though.
ETA: except for the one above! Nice.

I'd love to be able to do that with my 29-2's and my 629 no dash. Your 29 is a 6" correct?
