I can't help you with the number of these made but I do know most were produced in 1997. I never got ahold of one but was able to get one similar and harder to find. It's a 629-4 Master Hunter Scope Only, made with no front sight and rear sight left off. It was unfired after it left the factory until I got it and is one of my sweetest shooting 44s.

I forked out 12 bens a few years ago for it. With gun prices climbing there's no telling. If it's a PTP sale or at a LGS you may come out OK.
