Rough value of 27-2 6.5”?

[Model29-26.5]

Rarer than other barrel lengths but what’s a general $$?
When did they stop making the 6.5” 27?
Thanks

$1650 today plus… T and F

These were made in small numbers in the 27-2 era, lI suspect as a parts cleanup. The price sounds high to me.

Only during S prefix I believe.
One sold on GB for $1650 today.
I bid early but 1650 was a little too much
1850 after T and F ballpark

My N prefix 27-2 shipped in 1970 or so. When I bought it I thought I was settling for a run-of-the-mill 6" barrel but a forum member pointed out the true length. Nice when things work out in your favor!

Yes, I have seen a few in the early N prefix era (mid-5 digit numbers).

It all depends on condition. Low end might be 1k, high end about the asking price.

There are 80% pre-27s out there for 15-1800. Were it me I'd go with a 5 screw. But that's just me.

According to the "SCSW 4th Ed.", S&W discontinued the 6-1/2" bbl. for the Model 27-2 in 1967 (the 3-1/2" and 5" bbls. were discontinued in 1979). I think the value would be $1600+ (there is a slight premium for 6-1/2" bbl.), and maybe $1800 with presentation and goodies. Gotta love the .357s and Model 27s! I'd like to add a 5" and 6-1/2" Model 27 to my modest collection.

Ah! Nice 6.5 N.
I guess I need one now…

I think there’s a seller on the sale forum with a 5”
