Question Apparent crack in Model 27-2 body

I purchased the illustrated Model 27-2 Serial #S2827XX from a good friend about 1972. He in turn had purchased it from a friend. Since purchase I fired the revolver only once - 6 rounds of .38 ammo, and it has otherwise set in a secured location. I decided recently that it was time to sell the weapon, which I assumed to be nearly as new. Only now did I recognize that there is an apparent crack in the body at the tip of the ball point pen. Is this a common fault, or unusual, and am I correct in assuming that the value in this condition is pretty much nil? I don't think either of the previous owners were even aware of the crack, which I had not noticed for 40 some years and at first thought to be a scratch.
