Default Born on date? M 58 nickel

Looking for help dating a gun I'm interested in.
Yoke reads Mod 58 no dash
4" barrel
Factory nickel finish
Pinned & recessed
SN- N273106
Any opinions as to value would also be welcomed.
I will post more pictures as soon as I get the darn computer to cooperate.
I would rate the gun at a solid 95+ %
The stocks do NOT match & have no diamond.

Most likely dates to 1975.

Thank you Bill. What would the correct stocks look like since these don't match the gun SN?

Those look like the correct style PC magnas.

Stocks are correct style for a 1975 M58. Don't lose them.

The last one I saw for sale was $900 (I believe) but it was in the box and that was probably 3 years ago.

..saw that one...if you look at the completed auctions that was an anomaly... There was a S prefix in the box with correct grips that went for only $950.00 about the same time.. The one that sold for big money didn't even have PC grips on it... If you looked at the bidders they had very low numbers...

A nice clean 70s nickel will run $850-1200 depending on condition, grips, box, etc.

There is a very nice S 33XXXX serial number gun on AuctionArms with a BuyNow of $950 that I almost grabbed last night... But I have two so I figured let someone who doesn't have one get it...

My Model 58 nickel with an N 2716XX serial was shipped in September of 1977.

I bought it about three years ago at a gun show. Its pristine, with the correct box (box is not in as good condition as the gun) and I paid $1100. Model 58's are not found for sale every day and nickel ones are even more scarce on the market.
