Description:
A factory letter accompanies this fabulous and investment grade Model 27 No Dash confirming the rare configuration and detailing its original shipment on October 30, 1961 to Emerson W. Axe of the S&W Board of Directors. The gun was special ordered by and factory inscribed for Emerson W. Axe who served on the board of directors at Smith & Wesson for many years, playing a very influential role within the company. Axe was a prolific shooter and collector, having ordered quite a number of unique items with his connections at the factory. All known examples have an especially bright polished finish and typically feature his name engraved on the side plate as well as a special front sight.  

The gun is equipped with a 6” barrel, special ordered front sight, original extra bright blue finish and checkered Goncalo Alves diamond target stocks AKA ‘Cokes’. The gun retains about 99% of the original finish which shows very slight handling and firing evidence. The bore and cylinder chambers are mint and the mechanical working order is flawless. Bottom line a truly unique example of a very tough to acquire N-frame variant that will be a high-water mark in any collection.
