Default S&W Model 27-3 FBI Commemorative Edition .357

I got a super sweet deal on a new, inbox S&W Model 27-3 FBI Commemorative Edition .357 Magnum. It is missing three things: the original cardboard box, the letter re: why the revolver was made and the envelope that that letter came in. It has never been fired that I can tell. I am not going to keep it. Any idea on what a fair price would be? TIA

The revolver was made to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the FBI being authorized by Congress to carry arms. I am retired from that organization and have been looking for one of these for some time.

DR505, are you still interested in this pistol. With everything that is going on, some people aren't spending any money.

What kind of price would it take to buy it?

Thanks, Lewel

I always wanted one. My association with the Bureau was much too late to get one of these when the Ex-Agents association had them produced

After my mentor retired he eventually moved to a smaller house and gifted his FBI 27 to me



Odds are that when I pass, this revolver will be on the same corner of the desk in my study as Tom kept it in his

Oddly enough, I believe those are on the C&R list.

Absolutly correct

Back in the day Smith & Wesson had most of the Commemeratives added to the C&R list as they were built

By definition, this is a Curio

Welcome to the Forum

3200 of these revolvers were produced in 1983

Most of the owners of these Model 27s tend to keep them.

However several tend to turn up every year on the various auction or for sale sites.
