Description:

Manufactured in 1975/76. The left side of the frame has the Austin, Texas Police Department marking with rack number: "APD 535." The revolver wears a set of S&W medallion checkered target grips fitted with a metal grip cap featuring a large S&W monogram. Chambered in the more powerful .357 Magnum cartridge, the Model 27-2 replaced the Austin PD's S&W .38/44 Heavy Duty revolvers in 1968.

Rating Definition:

Very fine overall displaying authentic wear and tear of a duty revolver carried by a Texas lawman, with 97% of the replated nickel finish remaining, a small patch of pitting on the cylinder, and overall crisp grip checkering. Mechanically excellent. An Austin Police Department Smith & Wesson Model 27-2 revolver that would make a great addition to any law enforcement or Texas themed collection.
