27-3 w/ 4” barrel,
Blue finish
No rust
Tight lockup
No dings or scratches on metal
Wood grips with small chip
Finish isn’t great
Side plate is discolored
Looks like a gun your grand dad would show pull out if a drawer.
Looks like it’s been carried a lot
Looks like a working gun
But,,,,not beat up
if a man speaks, and there isn't a woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

Without pictures of how bad the finish is, I'd guess $500-800. For context, I recently bought a new unfired 5" 27-3, the Registered Magnum model of 1985, for $1100. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/fb9CV4dD/27-3-5.jpg)

At the Tulsa Gun Show the prices for 28’s & 27’s we’re all over the map. I did find a 28 that was in prestige condition for $800. I also found them for up to $1,300 - but none better than the $800 one.
The 27’s were a bit higher. I think you could get a pretty decent for $1,000. But some were much higher. The condition didn’t necessarily correlate with price.
I prefer classic.

About a year ago, a local pawnshop had a cherry 6" M-28 for $900. I was tempted, at $100 less, but he didn't budge, and someone else bought it. I thought they were kinda nuts at the time, but his prices are quite normal, he ain't stupid, but not unreasonable, either. I have no idea what a used M-27 goes for these days, but I've seen new ones (Hillary-holes) going for $995.

Without seeing it, I would say a solid $900 based on your description.......the 5" and 3.5" barrels seem to be more rare and higher-priced.....

If you are seeing Model 27's in pristine condition for $900, please PM me the gun shop phone number.
