Hi all, came across a couple of unusual pre-lock items for sale down under in Australia that I thought some members may have insight into.

Their serial numbers:

27-3 AUS6### (just coincidence AUS = Australian model?) 4 inch BBL

586 AUK5### 3 inch BBL

I suspect both may have been refinished and the 27-3 ported aftermarket as I don't think they came from the factory with such finishes but maybe wrong. Both look like nice items though.

Only one smallish pic of the 27-3 so far (not sure if it is in fact a 27 with SS) but three pics for the 586.

Kind regards
Jason

Hard chrome

I agree with the Marine! Both appear to be a hard chrome finish! Also the 586 might be a cut barrel to the 3". The front sight ramp in set back from the end of the barrel, not factory! Also the gun appears to be a square butt, never with a 3" barrel from the factory. My 2 cents!

I would bet hard chrome. And, as already stated, all aftermarket additions including the 586 barrel cut. Well done and on guns that aren't collectible anyway, so I would consider them as adding value/interest.
 
Thanks everyone for your helpful comments. Great tips on the likely cut barrel and square grips.

Interestingly I noticed the seller has changed the M27 ad to nickel finish. Unfortunately, both sellers price expectations are high, particularly the 586.
