I couldn't believe last Saturday at the Dallas (TX) gun show a consecutive serial numbered pair of 2 5/8" 627 8-shots were almost $5800! There were a few other nice, older S&Ws at the show, as well, but the few actually price marked were WAY over what I thought they should be. Too bad, I would have liked to have taken home a couple I saw.

If they were in a small duisplay case with a glass top, those have been floating all over gun shows in Texas. I always have to stop and take a look though. I do like to dream.
