+1, could also be a sales sample/demo unit. I bought a smith demo unit revolver that had factory fiber-optic sights a few years back - the model # on the box didnt correspond with anything out there. it was neat & "rare", but not particularly valuable - just a cool gun to shoot & stuff back in the safe. mine came with all the factory stuff, including the warranty card & the production date was 10+ years prior to purchase. robertson's on gunsamerica gets oddballs like that once in a while.Comment

Can't find anything in the SCSW. If I had to take a guess if it's not a rebarrel it would be a special edition for somebody like Lew Horton or some other distributor.
Does it have the "M?" Maybe a rebarrel was done when the recall mod was done?
+1 on looking for any other stamps or markings.
Maybe a letter from Mr. Jinks?

Update: I received the serial # and confirmed it has been rebarrel by S&W back in the mid 80's. No M stamp though.
I got him to bring the price down to $400, so it was a no brainer for me to buy it. Condition is about 98% if you disregard the rebarrel.Comment

$400!!
I jelly! That's a steal.
While 686 probably isn't gonna be a rare "collectible" in our lifetime the fact that the rebarrel was done by the factory makes it not a huge "minus."
Not only is your revolver rare but a lot of people consider the 3" barrel very desirable. Look at the 3" M66. Much sought after."He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog.
