G GunsnRovers New member Jun 6, 2004 #2 early/mid 1960's Per Supica & Nahas, the 27-2 was made from 1961 to 1980, but the the 6 1/2" barrel was dropped in 1967, so I'd say yours falls in between '61 and '67.

N nfmMike New member Jun 7, 2004 #5 GunsnRovers - thanks again, I would never have guessed the .357 was over 35 years old. It's in great condition, and in my dad's hands, well, let's just say that bowliing pins at 30 feet don 't stand a chance! Thank you again.
