I have a couple of S&W Mod 629's stainless revolvers. One is still in the box the way it was purchased. The other has been equipped with Pachmeyer grips and trigger action polished.

Both have pinned barrels and recessed cylinders. There is a "8" stamped on the barrel where the ejector fits when the cylinder is closed. The serial number and model are stamped into the frame visible when the cylinder is open.

What does this number represent?
