Just went into an old gun shop today and got down and in back of case was a big Smith of some kind . He showed me and it was a ex cond 27 no dash with beautiful coke non relived grips, gorgeous deep blue, and tag said with box I asked to see box and it is a gold box and says the 357 magnum revolver , not new looking but a gold smith box barrel is I think 6.5 inch the gun is real nice looks like a dresser drawer gun . serial 18675x I took it home. I got my 629 P/R 4 inch back a few months ago . also found a 67 with stainless sites real nice for 299 cash also took it home . Anyone know what year this 27 may be ??????? the 27 was 625 bucks .
Found 27 no dash coke grips took it home

You got a model 27 with Cokes and a Gold Box for $625?
Do you know how good a deal that is? That is about $1000 lower than a fair asking price for that package.
You did very well for yourself.
VERY WELL.

I'll look up the serial number for you shortly. My kids are using my iPad.
May I respectfully ask you to hold the phone and back up a bit.
It came with Coke configuration grips that are not relieved (cut on the upper left part), correct? Thats enough for now. A pic?

I'd love to find that for $625. I would even be tickled for $825.

I will try and post some ,thats what is on the gun large diamond cokes not relieved .This same shop a few months back had a 29dash2 6.5 with pachmyers for like 569 I cant buy everything but I was going home with this 27. The 27 I had came in the wood box I would buy them for 300 back then .
I may be wrong on the coke grips they are target type with the diamond in center very nice cond . no left relief cut out but for target grips they seem a tad smaller than my 629 P/R 4 in football thumbprint type . I didnt want this gun had 27 in the past but I couldn't go home with out it . It was way back of gun case the store was getting packed on Sat I was down on my knees looking back in the case and could see a Smith grip .

Is there such a thing as NR Cokes? Most likely they are targets from early to mid 1950s.
Was barrel length mentioned? In any event a give away price. I shudder at the pittance the dealer must have paid for it to sell that cheap.
Just noticed you said you think a 6.5" barrel. The 6" is very common. The 6.5" is very rare. Measure carefully.

"The 6" is very common. The 6.5" is very rare." SP, how rare is very rare?
I thought I had every variation of the N and K target grips in my collection. Apparently not.

markeb- Some say not as rare as I think but took me 20 years to find one. Never a catalog item they were made a few at a time, once in a while at the whim of somebody at S&W..
I'm sure Doc44 could tell us for sure since the stocks we call Coke bottles were mostly launched on the pre 29. I believe that the non relieved targets were being fazed out in 55 and the pre 29 was offered in 56. I don't believe there ever was a non relieved Coke bottle type stock offered.

I will get a photo up how much should I ask if I wanted to sell. I put my 4inch P/R 629 up for sale the gun is very clean fired very little real nice football print grips , in ex cond fact Smith box not original to gun had alot of hits on it but guys wanted the shipping sleeve with it and they wanted me to feeler gauge the cyl gap and so forth I mean come on you dont see these guns everyday anymore . If I had all that stuff the price would have been 400 more than my 1175 shipped for my 629 . if this 27 is what I say how much is it good for ???????????

Now I recall seeing those non relieved Coke stocks once before. I would guess that they are a transitional style with the non relieved style being phased out just as the Cokes for were coming in for the new 44 Magnum. I assume they are extremely rare. If I had a six and a half inch pre 27 with non relief cokes I believe I would ask $3,000 for it. That would be $800 for the gun and $2,200 for the stocks.
