Thanks to fellow enabler S&W Fan, I was able to obtain this lovely .357 Magnum. Shipped in April 1955, so it's only a few weeks older than I am. It was a little (lot) dirty when I got it the other day, but it cleaned up nicely. The stocks do not number, they have 125305 stamped on them so it would appear that they are from the same period. I have wanted a nickel 27 for a while, and in my mind this is even better. It is not a pristine example, but I intend to shoot it so I don't care. I'm thrilled to own this one.
