Just a "plain ol, plain ol" 27-2
This thread has me throwing rocks at my meager group of S&Ws.
I sold this pre 27 to a forum member.

As usual I'm not worthy! But here are two I picked up in 2015. 1 pre 27 6" and its stubby brother Pre 27 3.5" . The 6" came with the target stocks and was sold to me by a relative at a good price. I probibly paid to much for the 3.5" but time will tell.

My baby has a new pair of shoes
My 27 wears a set of Culina Ribbon Checkered Ropers.
The fit is, of course, impeccable.

Thank you. It is a 4 screw. My uncle willed it to me last year. He had had it since the early 60's.

I'v watched this thread since it's start. It is one of my favorite threads, and shows many of my all time favorite revolvers the 3.5" Mod. 27, The most beautiful revolver in my world. I suppose it would be possible to make, a 3.5" 27 unattractive, but so far no one has done it, on this thread. The Mod. 27, in all its configurations are beautiful, and plus, have for me a great triggers. Over many years the 3.5" Mod. 27, has become my favorite revolver. Hope I didn't make it sound to syrupy, I'ts just the way I feel.

My first and probably only, since I am at the divestiture stage.
3.5" SN would indicate Circa late 1950 - 1951, but it letters as having shipped 03/17/1953 to S&W's West Coast representative.

Checkered top strap & Barrel?

Please pardon me if I'v interfered with a thread of yours. GA 1911. I looked at the posts, before, and after, your post #362 where the question is asked " Why is the 27 top strap checkered?" I have never found that question answered. The question is good one, and needs to be answered. I hope I'm not stepping on toes here, or offending anyone, but here goes with my answer, as I see it. S&W wanted to embellish their top of the line revolver, so there would be no question in anyone's mind, what the top of the line was. I can't imagine What that embellishment cost, not only on the top strap, but also the top of the bbl., then or today, if the 27 was still made. Thinking back, I can't remember of another maker that has embellished their revolvers in this way. I think that this checkering, ranks right in there with engraving, and that is one of the reasons why the 27 is my favorite revolver, and the closest I'll ever get to an engraved one.

In my 68 years of life, I have never seen a model 27 come in a Philippian Mahogany case in central Illinois. Every one I ever owned or saw for sale was in a blue cardboard box. But, I've not seen everything.

Leatherhead23, sheriff deputy(friend of mine) owned and carried the twin to yours while on duty here. Always thought I'd try to trade him out of it to go with my blue 27-2 with 3&1/2" barrel but, it stuck like glue to him. Nice gun!

S&W model 27-2
How goes it gentlemen? I have this gorgeous model 27-2 with 3.5 in. Barrel and i was trying to get it appraised but the appraiser could not get me a definite answer due to the fact that my gun didn't look "normal". First off, it came in a box with purple interior. The grips were not stock and did not match the sn of the revolver. They also notice that my front sight had a gold bead instead of stock.. ive contacted smith and wesson but was not successful. Please advise.

The fitted case is an aftermarket piece. . The front sight was replaced with what I believe is a Brass Bead McGivern-style sight.
I have looked in my files, but cannot find the maker of the case, I'm sure someone will come along soon with the answer. All in all IMHO although a premium is placed on a 3 1/2' Model 27-2 in original condition, the condition of yours, with the changes would be about $1300-$1600 depending if the buyer is really interested in the fitted case. +- $250-$300.
As Mr Jinks would say " I hope this helps"

I don't know if this will work. This model 27 is online in a few places. It gets my vote for the ultimate model 27.

Here's mine, one a -2 with 3 & 1/2" the other a 5" Skeeter Skelton -5 that actually started life as a -4. I bought the 5" at a Kankakee county Illinois fair grounds gun show. The first owner tried to remove the barrel(for whatever reason) and split the frame and didn't want the hassel of sending to S&W for rebarreling. So was bought for discounted parts price? When I sent it to S&W repairman(one of the Italian brothers(no ethnicity slur intended) called and told me over the phone that only frame available was less than perfect finish(one of the many blotchy blueing jobs, back then). So. as I had bought it as a shooter, so be it.

Don't bring up these old threads, especially about anything to do with a model 27, unless of course you are telling me they are bad guns and I shouldn't be scouring the countryside looking for one. Especially a 27-2 blued with a 6" barrel.

GET ONE! To start with! Then, "The Sky is the Limit". You will soon learn to hate all of us 27 owners.
