Take my advice as a 27-2 collector and just buy it. Never mind the guys who holler "too expensive"...i got a just a like new one for $700 in 2010. Of course his has no box, tools, nothing. NIB is NIB and those have a premium. And guess what, prices for these kinds of collectable guns are UP! BTW I have just recently bought a 99% 4" nickel, never mind the price, it was fair but not cheap. I asked myself, do I want to risk having to keep looking for another year to maybe save a couple bucks..? There you are.
