I had a bit of serendipitous fortune yesterday and discovered an almost like NIB and pristine Smith & Wesson Model 27-2 revolver at my local gunstore. This one is fairly well a "sister" to mine... just the barrels are different lengths. The newly found one is 8 3/8" and mine is 6 1/2". She also comes with the original wood display case and while I didn't see it out with the revolver, it ought to look something like this photo... except for the barrel length-
Sorry... I didn't catch a photo of the store's offering... but she sure looks unfired... and if there's a cylinder ring, you'll need a magnifying glass to find it. Cylinder lockup seems as tight as Colt's vaunted Python... and also with a target hammer and target trigger.
My eyes are telling me the bluing isn't quite as radiant or lustrous as mine... but it's still nicely done.
They're asking $850 for this beautiful S&W revolver... so, can any of our S&W aficionados offer an opinion here?
