That's a nice find, Troutnut. Congrats.

Good for you - enjoy.

Still need to get it cleaned up. I'm happy with it though. Box isn't the best shape but it's matching the serial on the revolver. All factory paper Still inside

Very cool. An early post-81, so still has all the nice stuff (other than pinned and recessed), e.g., hammer mounted firing pin, forged steel instead of MIM, no frame mounted lock, no sleeve barrel. Nice find. I've got a few early post-81s as well, including an early post-81 six inch Model 29.

Nice score Troutnut, I bought a set of those grips once for $50 at a gunshow. My bud says I didn't know you had a rd butt N frame, I said I don't but they are worth 3 times that. Sold them a couple years later for $150. That's a dang scarce buy in really nice looking condition. Mb

Lew Horton made some 3" 629s . I thought the boxes were marked and the one I recall was unfluted cylinder. But I'm far from knowledgeable about them
