WTS: 50th anniversary (1935-1985) S&W .357 magnum MDL 27-3
Posted: Tue Feb 28, 2012 8:55 am
Looking to put this back on the market as soon as Im home...3-4 weeks.. Funding a new SuperCharger with other toys bought or traded.. And this gun, while my first bought as a privet in Germany at the start of my career many years ago has memories, it's still just a safe queen.. so it's made the list of things to go.
Let me know if you’re interested.
This is a 50th anniversary (1935-1985) S&W .357 magnum MDL 27-3

It's been in my safe since I bought it in Germany as a young Soldier 1985, was the first NEW gun I ever purchased.
There were 2500 of these manufactured as Commemoratives in 1985 this one is number 1542.
I have the original box, shipping container, all paperwork,

My reputation is worth more then money to me, so under the truth in advertising idea.. This gun has
SLIGHT drag mark
wear on the cylinder, as a young man many years ago, I felt the need to cock the hammer back a few times.. never understanding that even those two or three times would cause a slight mark on the cylinder.
The lid on the case is of a laminate design, there is a slight raise in one of the glue joints.. not cracked, and the case has never been dropped or crushed (it's also never had the gun in it, so no wear in the lining)

This gun is NIB never been fired.
Prices on line for this model range from $1500 for perfect examples to $700 for used but very good condition.
I'm asking $700 FTF in the CENTEX area TX DL and or a CHL.. Shipping though an FFL can be arraigned at buyers cost.
I'm funding a new Super Charger purchase so not particularly interested in trades, but if you have something you think I'll be interested in, I'm not against the idea ( If you happen to have a Nice running RZ350, we can talk)
Click the links above for more pictures and if you have any questions or pic requests you can PM me here or email me at marquezracing at centurylink.net ( replace anti spam stuff in address with @ )
Thanks for looking.
