I am think early 70's, but I am not sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I figured @Pizza Bob would surely know. Stone Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mustang69 503 Posted July 13, 2021 According to the Standard Catalog of S&W, 4rth Edition, the 27-2 with N prefix and 3.5" bbl was made from 1969 to 1978. I don't see any further breakdown by s/n. Getting it lettered from S&W would give a reasonably close production date. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought I read SW only "letters" for guns up to 1966? see: https://swhistoricalfoundation.com/letter-process/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
