the model 27 3 1/2 inch I asked about a couple of weeks ago is still for sale. it is a 27-2 with serial #215xxx. can someone give me an approx. date of manufacture & did it ship in a blue box w target grips? it is probably around 95% or maybe better with box, papers & tools. guy wants $1,500 & I offered $1,400. we'll see but I'll probably do the $1,500 if he won't budge
