27-2 6"

[LouisianaJoe]

My Old Farts Gun club had a swap meet Wednesday. I bought this 27-2 N165xxx for $500.

I also bought this for $400. Made in 1968

Joe,

Can I join your club?

That is one good looking Model 27. It doesn't hurt none that it's the finest revolver ever made, no offense to our Python fans.

It would probably help to live within a few miles from Kenner, LA.

Heck, that ain't but a couple hour drive for me! Wish we had an old fart's club here around the Lafayette area.

OK tell us the truth, were you wearing a mask during these two transactions???

The High Standard Supermatic is a very nice acquisition. Citation is an upper level quality.
If 1968 production, it should be a mod 106 or mod 107.
"Mod #" is HS speak for the S&W equivalent of dash #.
Rimfire Central has a very good forum section dedicated to High Standards.
Enjoy, Kevin G

It has Military 107 on the right side of the frame. I have been on Rimfire Central.

I have not stopped grinning yet.

The guy selling these was selling them for his very old father. I tried to tell him that he could get more for them. He insisted that that was what his father wanted for them. I did not argue any more.

I forgot to mention that the 27-2 came with the box, cleaning kit and papers.

 

[glenncal1]

I think you owe the father and son a bottle of good whiskey after that transaction

 

[Geronimo Jim]

Holy ****. You are a lucky guy!

 

[N55BZ]

Very fine transaction!

 

[bananaman]

You done GOOD to say the Least!!! I never did get my 27, when I was looking for 1. (none yet to this day) I did end up with a 6", 28 no dash though. 1960 gun, and glad to have it. Enjoy your beauties! Bob

The one time in the last three years that I did not go to this meet. Of course my brother Louisiana Joe always runs in ahead of me so it probably wouldn't have mattered.

As much as I love my 27-2 Smiths, I cherish my old HS Supermatic Trophy with a 7 1/4" fluted barrel. I used it back in the early 70s in club BE matches against guys with model 41s that I could not afford at that time. Did I beat all of them? No. But, I beat some of them. You have two great guns suitable to hand down to your grandkids. Great score!
