No Smith & Wesson Logo on Nickel Pre 27
With almost 99+% certainty, there was a S&W Logo roll mark put that onto gun when it was made, on the sideplate, or on the left side of the frame. If the qun in question is the nickel plated one I saw just recently posted on the big online auction with the nickel plated hammer & trigger, that gun’s been severely buffed by someone over time. The “Smith & Wesson” rollmark on the left side of the barrel is partially buffed off too as is the serial number on the butt of the frame. It also looks like something’s wrong with how the front sight ramp fits on the rib, it doesn’t fit properly.
The seller does mention it’s been refinished, but fails to go into much detail or describe the damage that’s occurred by removing so much metal. Certainly not a factory refinish.
