Model 27-2 Value

[Dr. Midnight]

I've just became interested in older S&W revolvers, and I have come across one that has really sparked my interest. It's a model 27-2 in nickel with a 5" barrel. Owner says it looks like it could be unfired. It has the box, papers, and cleaning kit. Could someone give me a ballpark figure on what something like that is worth? Thanks so much for the help!

$650- you stole it
$800- what it's worth
$950- in 10 years you will still have the gun. You will not have the extra $150. Joe

Send me his phone number, I'll see if I can get the price down some Must say that is EXACTLY one I would love to find myself, heck I'll take it a little on the used side even.

I think the pricing shown above is right on if the gun is as new unfired with the box and all the goodies. The 5 inch to me is the best balanced N frame and what's not to love about the 27-2. I have a blued and nickeol version I like them so well. The Nickel one is unfired with all the goodies and would cost someone to offer north of a grand to get it.

Not sure if it's the same gun, but there is one of these on GB right now.

 

[Dr. Midnight]

Thanks for the replies guys. The one thing I noticed is the one I'm looking at has a cardboard box and not a presentation box. Don't know if that makes a difference or not. Thanks again for helping a S&W rookie out.

Just in case no one has said it yet, Welcome to the Forum! You could not get a better start with revolvers than a Model 27. Be forewarned though, you won't stop with just one!

The model 27 is sort of the high water mark for S&W revolvers in terms of beauty, and performance being the first magnum. The model 27-2 is such a beautiful revolver that their aquisition can cause a series of events that leaves the mind numb when you wake up and realize you bought six of them in the past 6 months - Make It Stop

I paid $800 for mine, without any stuff and was glad to get it.

Nahhhhh It could NEVER happen to ME!!!!!

Gee, I wonder what made me obtain this one?

27's are addictive. I started with one and now have 5 (there are others on the board with many more than that). My most recent gun is a blue 5" 27-2. Had it at the range this week and it is a sweetheart. You won't regret buying that 5" nickle, but you will regret it if you don't. So as long as the price is reasonable.....

NIB $725., EXEC., $525, V.G, $300, FAIR, $200

Sure wish I could find a 5 gallon bucket full of "VG" ones for $300. Or even ONE!

I traded my Model 10 and $200 bucks for my 27-2
I paid $225 for the Model 10, so I am into my 27-2 for $425.

Since I carry the gun daily, I put some comfortable Hogue wood grips on it. I have the target stocks put away.

The Model 27 shipped in cardboard boxes with standard hammer and trigger and Magna grips until 1975 when they upgraded them to all target configuration and wood presentation cases.

After reading this post I realized (doing an inventory in my head)
That I dont own a 5" Model 27 yet.....DOH !

Guess I just found my next quest (obsession).
