I have just purchased a S&W Model 27-2 8 3/8" nickel and I would like to know the approximate year it was manufactured. The serial number is N395302. I appreciate the help. Merry Christmas to all.
 
IAW The Standard Catalog of Smith and Wesson; N serial prefixs for N Frame for the years 1975-1977 Start at N190001 end N430000, so 1977 would be a good guess.
 
I found it in a local gun shop a couple days before Christmas and Santa wanted me to have it, so that's pretty much the story. I didn't get anything but the gun itself, but it is in near mint condition. I gave $500.00 for it which I thought was a little pricey, but 30 year old Smith's in this condition are few and far between in this area. I am a big fan of the 8 3/8" barrel, so that made it even more attractive.
