S&W Model 27 DA Revolver – 5" Bbl, Exc + Case, 1970s

357 Magnum, 5” pinned barrel with an excellent bore. This lovely mid-1970’s “357 Magnum” revolver remains in excellent condition.

It includes a factory mahogany presentation case, and a manual. The moulded interior of the case retains strong flocking throughout while the exterior rates excellent with minor handling marks.
