Default 27-2 5" Nickel

The other day, I found this never fired, LNIB Model 27-2 5" nickel with presentation case in one of my local gun shops. SN 477xxx. Needless to say, it followed me home. The price seemed reasonable, and I always seem to regret it when I pass up a nice N-frame such as this. I'll try to dig my photobox out of storage so that I can take some better pics, but this will have to do for now. It will be very tough for me not to take this thing out and put a few rounds through it.

Take it out and put some rounds through it!

It will be around long after us and taken care of, it doesn't matter if you shoot it or not.
ENJOY it. Life is too short. Do with it what will give YOU pleasure.

I've still been too lazy to dig the photobox out of storage, but the natural light cooperated somewhat today for me to take some better pics.

Man, that is absolutely beautiful. Won't even ask what you had to give for it but I'll bet it was a pretty penny. Beautiful piece.
