A few months back I posted here that I had a presentation box for a 3 1/2" barrel for an N-Frame. The members told me I should look for a Model 27, so I found one. Well, I also have a presentation box for a 5", so I finally found this one.
It is a nickel model with serial S312999 which I believe dates it to 1968-1969. The pistol fits nicely into the case, although the cleaning rod seemed too long so I found a short brush. The box would be for something starting in 1968 according to the book.
The cardboard box with it is one that I think ended in 1967. It is unusual as it has the printed label on the other side which does not show any of the 3 T's, although the gun does have them. I think the front sight is changed as it is blued and has the red ramp. I know that it is not all original, but the changes are not too bad for me.
