The ship date and to whom can only be known with a factory letter.

Guns have been known to sit in the factory a long time after other in the same serial range had shipped.

Value is what someone is willing to pay for it.

A nickle finish 3 1/2" Pre 27 would be a rarer gun than a blued one.

Get the gun lettered asap.
What he said. S80737 shipped on this date in 1953. It obviously sat around for awhile, and it is nickel.
