If there are really only five digits after the N, then it was most likely made in 1971. With that barrel length, it is almost certainly a Model 27-2. The blue will be bright and shiny and the top (above the cylinder) will be checkered.

You posted your picture while I was typing. This is definitely a Model 27-2. Nice!
The trigger shoe was added post-factory. The stocks are also after-market.

Nice gun. The Herrett grips are maybe a bit utilitarian for that revolver and I would remove the trigger shoe but that's just me. You have one of the guns high on my wish list.

Nice 27! I've always wanted 1 myself. (settled for a 28) I like Herrett stocks. It is a shame that yours are modified. My 28 has some on. They feel good in my hand. Enjoy your 27! Bob

Those skip check Herrett grips make that gun. I use to sell them like hot cakes back in the day at my shop. Plus, Bob Herrett was a delight to deal with. Different times. Best.
