New to me M-27

[Groo01]

I just got a M-27-2 3 1/2 inch !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Serial no is M35xxx
Can anyone find a birth date for same.
Looks like a safe queen with box [bad shape] papers etc.
what would be a going price?

Never seen a M prefix on a 27 - maybe a fat finger typo and should be an N?

 

[Muley Gil]

Are you sure that isn't an N prefix?

 

[Masterbuck54]

It didn’t happen

Need photos

Assuming that is an N prefix probably manufactured in 1969/70.

N36XXX Price turn line but no holster shine
Cost? Is 1 K too much?

Really need pictures to validate condition/value but that said, it's been awhile since I've seen a 3.5 inch 27-2 with original grips in good condition for less than $1k, much less a "safe queen" with box. Pictures please.

Well, condition is everything, but assuming it is in good shape 1k for a 3.5” M27 is a pretty fair price. That is probably one of the top 3 most popular N frame models out there

Well Groo01, you've been a Forum member long enough to know that pictures are always required whenever a member makes a purchase! LOL! $1K for an early N-prefix 27-2 in nice condition with 3-1/2" bbl. and with the original box (even in poor condition) is a great buy. If you're a DIY guy, you can probably do some repair work on the box and improve its looks. I'll wait to congratulate you when I see some photos of your acquisition. Enjoy!

Paper money

Paper money in your pocket loses value every day. A nice Smith in your safe gains value every day and puts a smile on your face. I can think of nothing better to spend $1000 on. Looking forward to pictures and range report.

I'd say it's around a 1970-71 gun. Great buy!

No Cell Phone? That is better than nothing.

A friend once told me about a great revolver that just came into a Gun Shop. I drove an hour to look at a 100 year old Spanish clone that was worth $20 as a paperweight.

 

[SGT ROCK 11B]

How does it compare to this one? Nicer up to $1200 worse down to $800.

about the same but box has no printing,, stuck to another box in storage
action is smooth but heaver, feels like new un-smithed...

No, it's not, IMO.

Different regions of the country see different values for the same gun. In the South (for example), revolvers will bring a bit more than they would in the NE or West Coast.

Search on Gun Broker's closed auctions. See what other 27s sold for & you'll quickly get your answer.

I own a 29 & 28. If I saw a 27 in good to excellent shape for $1k, I'd be all over that.
