1968 Model 27-2 w 5" barrel...PICS!

[j greene]

my mod 27 2 is in near perfect condition,no box or original paperwork,the original finish is only slightly worn underneath the grip.it has what i believe to be pearl handles.the serial num begins s 254xxx.can anyone help me establish a manufacture date,and maybe an apprx. value? thanks

I love the 5" 27"s I've got two of them and when I learn how to take pictures like you I will post them. I have a 27-3 4" nickel that I bought last year and when I go to the range it's on my hip. I'm courting a 6" gun from 1969 with the box and tools. The trigger and hammer has been changed to the target versions. The originals are in the box as well as all the paperwork and tools.

I love the 5-inch 27, and I have to clean the drool off the keyboard after seeing the OP's.

My book say's 1964-1965 range. In the condition as seen here I would say between $675-$800 range. I can't check the gun for timing, end play cut on the top strap above the forcing cone so I'm giving you a pretty big range. The last one I bought was $ 650 two years ago its about 98% very slight turn line. with original presentation case loaded.

j: I'm down to three 5" M27-2s. I had to pay $650 to $850 for them depending on condition and extras.

..you guys are killing me... I've had two 27-2 5" guns both of which I sold... Both were 70s vintage guns one of which was NIB and sold that way. The other was a great shooter....

Don't know about you guys but wish that S&W had put 5" barrels on their Mountain Guns instead of 4s.....

One day I'll find another one....hopefully...

If you will allow me a square-butt frame I will go along with your 5-inch tapered barrel.
