Have a question for the "Factory engraved" guys. I believe this outstanding no dash 629 to be factory engraved though I have no proof. I emailed Mike with the historical foundation and he said because of the era of the gun, it would take weeks and weeks to hear back from that dept. What I'm going on is that it has the small S&W logo on the left side of the frame. All no dash 629's have it on the side plate. I cannot find a single no dash 629 with the smaller logo that wasn't factory engraved. What I'm not sure is if a distributor could have ordered them that way back in the day and then had them engraved the way they wanted them. The other thing that is strange is that there is a matching 3 digit number stamped inside the ejector shroud, on the grip frame and under the extractor on the cylinder. These are not the original grips. It more than likely came with smooth targets. Anyone have any thoughts??
