Bought a Model 27-2 3 1/2 inch with box

[boykinlp]

I have been wanting and looking for one of these in nickel for quite a while. With the help of a few of the forum members here (THANKS a ton), I was turned away from some and on to this one. I think it is very nice. The magna grips number to the gun. It came with the original serial numbered gray box, VCI paper, instruction manual, and warranty card. I added the tool kit after buying it. From the serial number N473XX, it looks like a 1970 vintage. Here are some pictures and geez nickel is difficult to photograph.

And one of the top strap that makes us want Model 27s so much.

Very nice. That big snub nose looks so business like.

That would be the exact configuration I would get for my first model 27.
Can't believe I've never owned one.

Thanks for all the comments everybody.

This one will probably spend some time as a safe queen. But, never say never as far as shooting it goes.

 

[jsfricks]

Oh, you gotta a least run 6 down range! Just so you know it shoots!

When I bought this gun, it did not come with the tools. I bought a set off of ebay to complete the package. One of our members PMed me and asked if I knew if the tools were the correct vintage for a 1970 Model 27-2. They thought that they maybe should have the brass ends on the brush and the mop. You can see the tool kit that I bought in the picture below.

Any idea when the changes were made in the tool kits from brass fittings? Thanks for any help.
