    When did Smith & Wesson first offer display or presentation cases for the Model 27?

    When did Smith & Wesson first offer display or presentation cases for the Model 27? I am wondering about the first year that display or presentation cases were offered for the Model 27, specifically, with the 6 1/2" length barrel. How would a 27-1 have been shipped when new? I assume that it...
