Checkered topstraps ,a N frame 357 picture thread.

[Allen-frame]

I'd like to see all the different variations of the Checkered topstrap N frame 357s.
From 3.5"ers to the 83/8ths , blue ,nickel or otherwise ,, If you got em' Let's see em' .


No Highway Patrolman. They have their own thread.


I found this at the Miami show Saturday, a 5" 27-2 ,S297 serial. It had Pachmayrs , but was priced right.

Here he is with his brothers and cousins.

The 627-0 is probably the heaviest N 357 ever, with its unfluted cylinder and full lugged barrel.

A post war, 3.5in, shipped 7-25-1950, just turned 59 years old.

6in. 27, S200. made 1960 ,

A 5" 27-1 , rescued from a kitchen drawer, grips number to gun.

A 6" 27-2 S268, made in 1966.

The 4" 27-2s blue and nickel.
Both gun show acquisitions, from guys who didn't know exactly what they had.

Regards ,,,,AlleN-Frame

Jerry;
I see that you have one of those "old fashioned" Model 27's. It's a shame it doesn't have a lock and a frame mounted firing pin. In spite of that, I could maybe take it off your hands for a $100.00 or so (you pay shipping, of course...)LOL

Nice detailed photos, as usual. Good work.

If you even need a mint 27-2 in nickel for a Nickel barrel run, Let me know, I never shoot the one above anyway.

Allen Frame-

This is the only picture that I have available right now. This gun is very close to yours as far as serials go. It now wears a period correct set of diamond targets. This one shipped in March of '68.

I've had several come and go over the last few years (5", 6" & 6-1/2"), but these two are keepers:

(of course, they're all keepers until I sell 'em)

Hello
I know both of these 27's are Pre-Model's, but I feel it is Important to show the Old Versus the new design's used later in the Model Marked series. Here is a top strap picture of my First year "Registered Magnum" Circa 1935 and my Pre-27 Circa 1954, Both with 3-1/2" Barrels. As you can see, there is very small differences in the top strap checkering considering the year change from 1935-1954 being 19 Years and Two very different Plant Locations of which these revolver's were made being the Original Plant which was located on Stockbridge Street and the New Plant back then which is still 2100 Roosevelt Avenue.Regards, Hammerdown

I'll throw a mid '70's 8 & 3/8ths gun into the mix.

27-2

Hey GF,

I'd appreciate it if you didn't set my future stocks on a rough surface like that!

Amazing thread, thanks for all the pictures!

An N-frame 357 is on my short list - but I am still hoping for a Registered.
