Made a very good deal with a forum member for this beauty. A few years ago I shot my first 6 inch S&W revolver (28-2) and after years of only liking the 4 inchers, I finally figured out what a 6 inch barrel can do to a target, lol. Anyway, my new to me 27-2, serial number S330xxx, shipped in 1969 to Bern's Wholesale Sporting Goods Company, Denver Colorado. I'm sorry for the cell phone picure, but I just don't have the skill that some of you do who take beautiful photographs. You take photographs, I just take pictures, lol. I will shoot it tomorrow!
