Another how much is it worth thread - 627-2

[rubiranch]

This 627-2 CCU2331 appears to be in pretty nice shape.
The S&W and the .357 Magnum on the barrel is kind of hard to read.
Will it eventually fade away?
It feels pretty good in my hand and its a .357 so I like it.
Are these a desirable guns?
How much do you think this one is worth??

No idea about what it's "worth" ... and I'm generally a pre '97 guy but...

The gold bead sight & unfluted cylinder bring me the serious drool!
It would probably be "worth" more to me than perhaps that guy over there.

It is a cool gun for sure.

That's a very interesting gun. Appears to be a 6-shot with the new frame and a floating FP. Also has the interchangeable front sight.

The only place I have seen script laser engraving is on pieces for export. Is the barrel 5.5" or 6"? If you buy this it is certainly worth having it lettered. If you don't, PM the location, LOL.

Adios,

Pizza Bob

I agree with Pizza Bob. The only time I've seen the laser etching in cursive is on a Euro export. It won't fade away on it's own but keep the Mother's or Flitz away from it.

Its a 5" barrel. If I don't take it I'll let you know.

In all honesty I need another .357 like I need another hole in my head. LOL!!!

Thanks for the heads-up because I Flitz everything.

Smith and Wesson wastes nothing

In the late 1990s S&W had a batch of left over 6 shot unfluted cylinders with no where to go. So they assembled those revolvers from parts. I think that there were two different barrel lengths at the time

When this happens, the run is usually small. I have seen one that was 14 pieces and I have seen some that are over 100.

These guns are then offered as an entire lot to the bigger Distributors that order exclusive firearms on a regular basis.

In the 1990s most of these parts guns were sold to Lew Horton

If you letter it I am sure Roy will include the total number assembled

If I were buying it, I would not pay any more than I would with any of the 101024 revolvers. To me the oddity does not equate to extra value.

Now if you hit a collector that just has to have the odd ball little runs, it could very well bring a premium

Is the box included?

Thank you very much.

The "oddity" or "rareness" doesn't do much for me. I just find it appealing and its a .357.

It has a $1000 price tag on it. I can probably get it for maybe $700.

For $700 that decidion to buy should have already occurred. I would jump on it

The revolver was manufactured on August 5th of 1998

I do not have a SCSW handy to look up SKU 148218

Thirsty much Bob?

 

[murphydog]

It is well worth $700, or $1000, if you like it. It can be your 181st last gun of the year (so far. )

You better run and get it NOW!! I have hardly ever seen them for sale. I chased the 5 inch 627 for around 15 years. I came up with two within 6 months and paid nearly the price as on this one about 4 years ago. The second one was lots more!!!

There were not many 627-2s made. They were made in both 5 and 6 inch barrels. Some CDY serial numbers and some CCU serial numbers and one other series that I don't remember.

They are great shooters and soak up magnum recoil very well. I saw one 6 inch like new in the box sell on GunBroker for $3976!! The last 6 inch I saw sold for about $1400 a year or two ago. The 6 inch is much more common than the 5 inch!!

The lettering is laser engraved and not very deep. I would not polish it at all!!

 

[hkcavalier]

I looked at a 627-0 earlier this year, tag read $1600. It was gone in a week.

 

[Pizza Bob]

Thirsty much Bob?

Always looking to quench that thirst with the next one.

 

[Georgia1911]

I would not buy it, but in the general S&W market it's worth every bit of $700 in my opinion.

 

[CH4]

Not sure what Dash 2s are bringing.
The Dash 2s are cool, but everyone knows the Dash 0 is the best!

I don't care for s&w stainless, Id rather ruger's for ccw revolvers. I don't need another safe queen. I wouldn't sell my s&w cheap after looking at the gun for sale sights.
