I will try this again - I have a friend, retired FBI that has two S&W Model 27 FBI Commemorative pistols unfired. SNs are FBI 35XX and FBI 21XX.
5" bbls in wood boxes as new. S&W letters with them.

Would someone provide information on these revolvers on background, production levels and ballpark values. He does not have plans to sell them now, but may sell later.

There's one with a buy-it-now for $849 on GB. 1983 As New With wood box.

I don't have my trusty SCSW handy, but I believe there were several thousand (3 or 5?) in 3.5 and 5". They are more valuable with documentation that an FBI employee owned them. I recall seeing ones without such a history sell in the $750 range NIB, but ones with an FBI connection are less commonly found and sold. Hope this is helpful.

This revolver was only offered as a 5"

The run was commissioned by the FBI Ex-Agents Association. 3200 revolvers were produced.

The FBI Ex-Agents Association only offered revolvers to Active or Retired agents. As with all rules there were a few exceptions where revolvers were offered to LEOs working with the Bureau.

There should be a packet of paperwork with the firearm if you are acquiring it from the original Agent.



That envelope contains the letter describing the revolver along with the other paperwork





Value is a subjective thing. I have recently seen them offered from as low as $750 to as much as $2,400. As already mentioned, GB has one at $849 right now.

Again, thanks folks - well covered. He has two sons, but neither appears to be very interested.

I am a retired Agent and have subject revolver, Agents had the opportunity to use their credential number as the serial number. Perhaps the revolver with a copy of a portion of the credential would add to the value.
