Although I had been looking to find a pre-model 27, I ended up acquiring this GEORGEOUS model 27 "No dash" 4-screw 5" revolver. Inside the box under the gun is a "Handling the Handgun" pamphlet and a waranty card(Not pictured). The serial number is 1990xx. For being 52 years old this revolver has not been fired much-but, the turn line was mostly from fondling the gun. It is amazing how much nicer the older bluing is compared to the late 1970's 27-2's. See what you might think of this M27 "No dash"?:
