At $1.09/Euro that would make the gun a $654 purchase. Not bad! What about taxes and fees in Italy?

Somebody is able to tell me more about the year? 86? 87? Model 27-3, serial number AVF xxxx. I know that the 80s production is not good as the 60s and 70s production.... but nevertheless I think it may be a good purchase.... The revolver is very nice, almost new.
Welcome comments, thanks a lot!!

The primary difference from prior Model 27s is the 27-3 does not have a pinned barrel or recessed chambers. Nothing wrong with the gun.

Buy it, you will enjoy it, I promise. I own6 model 27's myself in various barrel lengths. 5 of them are -2 guns from the 70's and 1 is a -5 from 1990.

A model 27 is never a mistake!Your price seems right.But even if it would be a bit too much,don't worry.Like they say,love is priceless.
Have fun with it.

don't worry about 1980s quality. I have a 27-3 from 1987, first owner, it has about 25000 rounds and is still as accurate as it could be. No timing issues or anything the like.
