I cant recall seeing any on their website, or in person, but I did come across this website http://www.pmulcahy.com/revolvers/brazilian_revolvers.htm
About half way down it talks about the model 85's.

I've got a Taurus 605 3" non-ported, blued .357

Don't rightly recall just how long I have had this Taurus revolver, must be somewhere around 10 years. Never have fired it either.

Any idea what it is worth????

I had an 85 with the 3" barrel (stainless), gave it to my son 10 yrs ago. My alternate daughter (long story) also has one (blue). Both of these were bought 12 or so years ago.
