Time to bump this back to the front page by posting a few images of my newest 3 1/2" 27-2 I got last month. It's not unfired, but rather very lightly shot and in extremely nice shape. I picked it up the day before I had to leave for the rig, so I still haven't had a chance to get to the range and give it a go.

It sitting in the presentation case, which is in excellent shape:


My oldest and my newest. The 5" I bought new in 1974 and put in the the pic with my newest model 27.


Finally, I also got the original silver box with it, with tools still in the plastic as well as all the paperwork the pistol came with in the box. All in all, a nice package deal I thought.
