EthanEdwards: My "supposedly" (but looks to be) unfired Model 27 is indeed encased in a presentation box.
I got it from a private estate kind of thing - so not much known on its history other than the sales pitch with it was it being "unfired".
Was the presentation case for Model 27's "an option" or could that case have been bought separately?
I know that one of my Model 29's I bought new back in 1971'ish came in a presentation case - its still in there and IT is still unfired.
Thanks in advance if any insights into my question are proffered.
