Not sure 27-1's are welcome here, but they are at my house.

An idea of its date of birth, SN #N4231XX ? |
Looks like 1977/78

The 5" Model 27 has always been my favorite .357. I have had two of them. Here is a pic of my current 27-2 that I purchased new around 1978 from a LE distributor.

Here's some of mine when I first got it. Was wearing modern stocks that I didn't care for (not pictured) & the finish isn't great (not horrible either).
Photos below show some not numbered to the gun stocks & some Kurac's that are beautiful.
I still need to take some photos of it post reblue from S&W.

I've got a couple five inchers, a sweet 1979 example that HughWW turned me onto at the 2019 PHX Crossroads show and this recent arrival from Texas, a 1972 example with magnas and T-grip. IMO the 5" N frame .357 Magnum/Model 27 is the quintessential Smith & Wesson revolver alongside the venerable .44 Special and Magnum models. The Models 19/66 and 586/686 .357's are runners up in the K and L frame categories.
