Not described in scsw. Oversight or rare bird?

I have never seen one but I have an old M-10-5 with a RB. Took me about 5 hrs with files and sand paper. Made it for my wife's small hands. Had it refinished and its very hard to tell it wasn't made that way.

IIRC all Frames went round butt as standard in about 1995/96.....not sure of all the dash numbers.... L-frame were -6s again IIRC

Thanks, but would like to know specifically about the M27 rb.

SCS&W 4th Ed. ...............27 was discontinued in 1994 at -6..... I've no other information

Do you have the original blue plastic factory case?

No. I don't.

Wish I could help, but, sorry, I can't. I did see a real nice 67 with rb, not factory but a great job, not to say yours may be factory and worth lettering. Great looking gun!

On page 430 of the SCSW 4th: 27-6 Classic Series (non-verified) Quantity ??? Joe

Hey Plinkas,
Figured some experts here would have given you the answer you were looking for . I was reading a letter on model 27's and in one it says 110 were made in 1997 from leftovers . Is yours drilled and tapped for a scope mount? Serial number range from BSK4252 -TO- BSK4362, IS yours in that serial number range?

Thank you.
It is drilled and tapped and the serial number does fall in that range.

Hope this part of the letter comes through . It's for my model 27 no dash but talks about the 27's in general . Glad this helped

Thanks. That nails it. I guess it is a pretty rare model.

I have a RB m27-6 and a m28-2 that like a little bit better. So, I’m thinking of selling the RB m27. I don’t need to sell it. I just don’t see any reason to keep it. Since it’s pretty uncommon, any idea what it’s worth?
