With only the one photo it's hard to accurately appraise the gun but here is a little info. (edit: just re-read the op. The photo is a representation only.) Just make sure it's in fine condition.
What you are showing is a 627-0 (not to be confused with no dash) which is a .357 built on an N frame. To my knowledge it is the only (or one of the only) SS guns with the checkering on the top, ala 27-2. At over 50 ounces, it is also about the heaviest .357 you will come across.
There were just over 5000 of these made and the one in the photo has correct combat stocks.
Unless it has push off problems, very few trigger characteristics are a no no for me.
If it's over 95%, $800 seems like a good price. Box and papers may add $50 to the right person. I paid $950 for mine in unfired looking condition without the box.
627's of all variants seem hot right now so unless it has a serious problem, I would not think too long.
The -0 is a unique gun that seems more to be form over function as there are lots of lighter, less expensive alternatives for the power and capability it delivers. Think of it as smart AND pretty but with emphasis on the pretty side.
Although owners like to call it rare, it certainly is available if you pay up and do your part to find it so don't expect it to skyrocket in price.
It is a solid gun with a modest following that seems to be one of those pieces that got all the cool stuff in one package: SS, checkering, capacity, big frame, versatile caliber, good bloodlines in the 627, and not made in the millions.
What's not to like? If you find it's not for you, it will not linger here long when you ask for your money back.
Cheers,
A.
