They did, but are not seen too often. I have seen 2 on Gunbroker in the last year. Both went for big bucks.
I have a nickel 19-2 with a 2.5inch barrel and a blued version is also on my radar.

Great photo of a beautiful 19-2!!!
Here are a few glamour shots of my 19-2 2.5"er that has had a little nickel added to it after it left the factory...

The three that I own shipped in 1966, 1967, and 1968, but I think that the 19-2s probably started shipping in 1963 or late 1962.
If the reason you want a -2 is for pinned and recessed, then I wouldn't sleep on the -3s. I recently got a nice 2.5" 19-3 that has pinned barrel and recessed cylinder chambers. Got it earlier this year at a LGS.

The same can be said for 19-4s. Picked up this minty 1978 nickel P&R -4 at my lgs a few years ago for $550. Great shooter!

That's a beauty!
And honestly, the ones that are not P&R'd are great guns, as well. Not sure why they're not as highly regarded, but I do recognize the differences in terms of collectibility. I have many more P&R Smiths than non P&R, but really like them all.
