Here’s another one. I tend to doubt if the box is correct or not as it does seem pretty late for them to be using gold boxes, but it’s what came with the gun when I got it from another one of our Forum members It probably should be in one of the blue boxes I suspect.

It is a Model 27-1 357 Magnum with a 6” barrel. This particular gun shipped to M&H Sporting Goods in Philadelphia in June 1962.

It has all the target options, that is, TH, TT, checkered walnut target grips, RR front sight and WO rear sight. According to the letter from Roy Jinks, all these “target” items were on this gun when shipped.

The “dash 1’s” (as has been told by another Forum member who collects 29-1’s) are normally marked on the rear of the cylinder with an “L” indicating left hand threads on the extractor rod, as this one is.
