Drum roll please.......I got it!

[rags]

As many of you know, I've been searching for one of these 27-2 3 1/2" er's for about 2 years, and despite my many attempts, have come up dry. (Well I did land one 5" blue one and a 5" Nickel, both factory fired, but you know what I mean!)

Thanks to two Forum members dlbx2 (David) and Ditrina / Doctor 27 (Sal), I was able to purchase this from Sal this week!

The nickel is flawless! The pics, courtesy of dlbx2, are awesome and I couldn't do any better. But seeing it for the first time yesterday in person, well I got weak in the knees!!

Everyone know's that there are some very thoughtful members on this board, but it really hits home when you receive the help that I did, from David and Sal! Thanks gentlemen!!! They went out of their way to help me spend my money!! (Oh yeah, gonna shoot the 5" Blue, Skeeter gun now!!!!)

Now, LOOK AT THIS!!!!

Shipped: July 1977


And a few more that I took...

I guess the saying "good things come to those who wait" is very true.
It's a beauty. Congrats.

Schnikes! That gun is drop dead gorgeous. I'm sure that wasn't cheap.

Have you been reading my PM's? All I've heard from Sal, for at least a year and a half, was, wait, Wait, WAIT! The last one I sent him said NO!!!!

That looks almost too pretty to shoot.

Prolly won't find out! It's an investment, collectors grade gun. I will however let you know how this one shoots! It's an 1 1/2" longer...
