Educated value guess 3 1/2” Mdl.27-2

[straightshooter47]

any educated guesses on the value of a model 27-2 with a 3 1/2” barrel that has been refinished in electroless nickel. Front ramp sight was left blued as well as rear sight. Original wood magna style grips replaced with a new set of pachmayers. The action is tight, and the overall surface finish shows no pitting and/or other metal defects under the new finish, there is a slight flame cut line on the top strap…No box, no papers.

Thanks in advance…

Having been searching for and watching online sales recently until I found my 3.5" gun, I know there was a 27-2 3.5" nickel gun that had been bead blasted sell on gunbroker for 1200. It had nice smooth targets on it and a presentation case with it.

I would say a lot depends on the quality of the refinish it has. Maybe a slight knock on that gun comparatively for the pachmeyers and no presentation case. That said, if it's a good looking gun with a high quality finish, It wouldn't surprise me if you got 1000 for on gunbroker relatively fast. 3.5" guns definitely hot right now and commanding a premium.I don't think it would be hard to find a buyer for that gun even in modified condition, due to it being kinda hard a reasonably priced 3.5" 27 in any condition. Unmodified high condition 3.5" 27's seem to go for atleast $1500 on gunbroker, with really nice pre 27 examples bringing the most. Have seen 27-2s go for a lot of money as well, up to 2k for collector grade box or cased examples.

I believe a nicely refinished in matte nickel 27-2 3.5" would bring $1,000 all day long!

Hard to give a value with no pictures.
