Up for sale in Wisconsin:
For sale is my Smith & Wesson Pre-27, 5 screw, 5 inch barrel with non-relieved diamond target stocks. Caliber: .357 magnum, 6 round capacity. It is pinned and recessed. The revolver dates to 1955 and so do the stocks, if my memory serves--SN is 1414XX. The revolver shows typical cosmetic wear but is mechanically excellent. I tried my best to take pictures of the cosmetic wear. Perfect carry-up, perfect timing, perfect bore, perfect chambers, etc. All the serial numbers match; the butt, the cylinder, the barrel. I am quite sure the finish is original, on both the revolver and the stocks. The revolver is not mint, but shows honest wear and no signs of abuse.
I am selling this because of "opportunity costs," that is, I am not rich and I would rather have something more useful for my needs. I am just not a huge fan of shooting magnums, and this is too big for me to carry. Rest assured there is nothing wrong with this revolver beyond cosmetics.
I will consider trades or partial trades for:
S&W blued 3 screw pinned barrel revolvers with barrels 4 inches or less. Especially in non-magnum calibers, like .44 special, .45 (Colt or ACP) or .38 special.
Price: $895 + actual shipping. FFL to FFL in CONUS, no CA sales.

First "I'll take it," followed by a PM gets it. Discreet Paypal or Money Order for payment, please. I have a very busy week, and I will be learning the ins and outs of the law as I go, so please have patience with me.
Thanks!
