9/2/21 - This is a beautiful example of a S&W Pre-27 revolver manufactured in 1952. It is chambered in .357 Magnum, has a rare 3.5 inch barrel, and has a 5-screw frame. Excellent checkered wood grips. The cylinder is tight and the action is smooth. It is in near-mint condition, retaining about 99% of its finish. There is just a light roll mark on the cylinder. The bore is mint.
