Fortunately, I am only a sucker for 3.5 inchers these days; unfortunately, they’re usually the most expensive. I’ve found two there in the past 12 months. The one for $900 is a cherry, the one for $1200 is closer to 95%. It’ll be my 3.5” shooter/carry piece.

I wish I could find them that cheap around here. You've got a real beauty there! I like the vintage glove, too.

I wish I found fewer because I can’t say no to a reasonably priced 3.5”.

Thanks, that’s my mom’s glove, a treasured childhood possession.

Both good prices. The only thousand dollar Nframes I've seen around here are lock guns.

I’d take a refinished beater 3.5” 27-2 for a $1000, before I’d buy any of the new offerings, even if they made a 3.5” 27 “classic”.

Early N number

I had N280 which was a blue Model 58 shipped in Oct 1971. it was rough and had it refinished at S & W. Recently sold in Knoxville.

Was at Tulsa last w/e & a young friend (new SWCA member) Picked up a pristine M&P 5 screw with matching gold box. We thought they left some of the serial # off the box. Wrong! the 3 digit # on the box matched
the all three #'s on revolver. Hope it hasn't started to rust from all the drool on it !

I well resemble that remark. BTW - GREAT early "N" Serial Numbered 27-2.

Awesome pick up on that very early 27-2 and looks super nice to boot.
