To make a long story short, I found a "27-2" with a 5" barrel for sale locally last night. I met this morning and made the purchase. Gave it super quick wipe down and went into work.

Turns out, this isn't a 27-2 to the best of my knowledge. Nothing about a 27 anywhere on it. Did I purchase a pre-27 5 screw? Serial is S 122xxx or something close to it.

Does that hurt value? I really love Smith Prelocks in 357 magnum so I am happy but I haven't got a clue in the world concerning value.

(I'm sorry for the poor photography, I had to hurry to work)

Thanks for the help!
