Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Originally introduced in 1935 as the legendary ".357 Registered Magnum" and officially designated the Model 27 in 1957, Smith & Wesson's flagship N-frame revolver is widely regarded as one of the finest double-action handguns ever created. Built to showcase Smith & Wesson's highest tier of hand-fitting and finishing, the Model 27 is instantly recognizable by the intricate cross-hatch checkering hand-milled along the top strap and barrel rib to reduce glare. Featuring a heavy N-frame chassis, pinned barrel, recessed cylinder chambers, and brilliant high-luster bluing, early 4-screw "S-prefix" Model 27s represent the absolute peak of post-war Springfield revolver craftsmanship.
This specific example is an authentic 1958-1959 manufactured Smith & Wesson Model 27 (no-dash) 4-screw revolver bearing serial number S186920. Chambered in powerful .357 Magnum (also firing .38 Special), it features a 6-inch pinned target barrel, counterbored cylinder chambers, micro-adjustable target sights, fine-checkered top strap, case-hardened target hammer and trigger, and custom hand-contoured checkered target walnut grips w/ brass medallions. Preserved in exceptional collectible condition w/ a mirror-bright high-luster blued finish displaying virtually no wear, a razor-sharp bore, precise cylinder lockup, and a glass-smooth DA/SA action, this early S-prefix Model 27 is an investment-grade 1950s S&W wheelgun ready for display or placement in any premier Smith & Wesson collection.
