Question Help with Engraved S&W revolvers

My father passed and I have a couple of Guns that I would like to get the value
Smith&Wesson 357 Magnum 4 inch Model # 27-2 with Smith&Wesson Stamped upside down on the barrel. I have a letter from S&W saying they would be happy to fix the mistake!
Second I have a matching set of S&W 357 Mag Model # 66 and a 38 Special CTG Model # 67 Stainless totaly hand engraved to the screws 24 carat gold eagles signed by Ogawa.
Guns have never been fired.
Don't know much about them. Any info would be appriciated.

The 27 is a 3-1/2 inch gun.
Some members will probably be along to comment on the engraver for you.
I am going to edit the title for you also to catch attention.

Value of these guns is mostly a guess work process, as Ogawa engraving is speciality work, and certain collectors will pay large amounts for good examples like yours. My guess is that maximum value would be obtained in a good auction at a quality auction house, like deJulia, Amoskeag or Little John Gangles. Ed.
