My new to me M27 no dash. Serial number dates to 1959 (S200xxx). Unfortunately doesn't have the original diamond target grips:

Why can't I get photos that good...

A real beauty, well done and thanks for sharing.

Cheerio,

Wrong grips, sacrilege! Wink. A real beauty. You will find some period targets.

Have you lettered it? It probably shipped with diamond Magnas. A letter should also tell you if it came with a target trigger.

Nice! I would love to find one like that some day. Beautiful.

 

[Kingspoke]

Yes, very nice & 5" too! Congrats!

Too bad about the grips.
Shooting it a lot will make you feel better
That's what I do with this 5" Pre-27 wearing eBay Diamond Magna's

Yes I didn't mean to say targets someone else pointed that out. I did order a pair of the replica diamond targets from Altamont and hope to find a set of the originals. Haven't got a letter yet but I think I will.

My Pre-27, 5" one of my all time favorites. Just a fine revolver to own and shoot.

Welcome to the FORUM! This is kinda like yours. Model 28 no dash S2011xx from 1960. Maybe it will look better in my garden. Always looking for new picture backdrops. Bob

I haven't lettered mine but serial # is S1646xx. Also my favorite revolver. Just something about the balance and feel of the 5" N frame.

Got my letter back on this gun and it has a ship date of Apr 6 1962. I thought it was a 1959. Seems odd as the 27-2 was out for a year at that time.

Does “checkered walnut grips” mean magnas?

 

[mh51]

Yes. If it were shipped with target grips, the letter would have specified that. Still a great find!

Good I have a nice set of diamond magnas to go on it. Still perplexed about the ship date. Did this gun get lost in the factory for 3 years?

Very nice and very close serial number 808 lower. And shipped almost 2 years before mine.
