Info on this 686-5 Plus 3" Matt. A bit of an oddity?

[gaspipes]

I picked this up today. 686-5 Plus with a 3" barrel and a matt finish. I can't find out much a bout it. What do the experts here know? It seems to be absent from the SCoSW. Is it rare? Is it worth more that $500? Here are some pictures.

It's a special run of uncatalogued models, and is worth quite a bit more than 500! Nice find. I have a couple and have had mine lettered.

It is worth 750 or better in my neck of the woods.

I plan to shoot it though. It's not a collectible super rare gun or anything is it?

I sent you a PM gaspipes. That's not one you want to shoot!

It's super super collectible!

The 104190 is a big time mystery gun. Very desirable and highly collectible. No mention in the SCoS&W. The last one I saw sell went for more than two grand. Scarcity must be why. I'd guess fewer than 100 made, based on how infrequently I've seen them over the years.

Holy Cow! You got to be kidding me.

Wow, i was thinking to myself that's a premium set of features. Guess it wont be one I'll find/take home anytime soon
