I bought several pair of grips and was wondering if someone knows what they fit. Unfortunately the bags they were in were not correct.

They were marked "N" frame round butt. The top group has me wondering.
Open them up so we can see the inside.

I was told they fit my newly purchased 629-3 when I got home and looked the -3 is square butt. I do have a 629-6 round butt and a 686-6 that I could take the grips off and check. The Packmeyer type grip is something I've never seen before.
Mystery solved
They both fit my 629-6 "Round Butt"
Any idea on what they are worth?
So you've got a round butt and a round to square conversion grip is what it looks like. I'm far from a connoisseur of grips but the pachy style looks like perhaps walnut and the other rosewood.
The N-frame/round butt combination is a fairly modern addition to the S&W lineup. Traditionally, N-frame revolvers came with square butt profiles--period. Relatively speaking, far fewer guns are in circulation that can use the RB aftermarket grip than can use SB--so demand might be small. But there is always the slick move of marketing low-demand items as "SCARCE"--"HARD TO FIND"--and the always reliable "RARE AND COLLECTIBLE". Most of these are likely still in production--go to the Pachmayr website and see what MSRP is listed at, and if they are used or unboxed figure on somewhere between 1/2 and 2/3 of MSRP. Mind you, at gun shows I have seen used & very common Pachmayr Presentation grips for K-frame S&Ws tagged at $50.00 when MSRP at the time was $24.95. Caveat emptor, P.T. Barnum was right.
Well, both sets of grips only fit the round butt. Neither will fit the square butt 629 as I have both a 629-3 square butt and a 629-6 round butt.Quote:

I put a set of Hogue on the round butt 629-6
