What truly sets this example apart is its factory Class A scroll engraving applied to the frame, barrel, and cylinder, marking it as a high-grade presentation-level revolver rather than a standard production gun. The Model 27 lineage traces directly back to the original Registered Magnum, and the 27-2 retains that heritage through its finely fitted action, crisp trigger, and premium finish. As a factory-engraved N-frame .357 Magnum with documented provenance, this revolver stands as both a functional shooting arm and a collectible showpiece, appealing strongly to advanced Smith & Wesson collectors who value originality, rarity, and the pinnacle of the company’s traditional revolver artistry.
