Hi Jim. When I hear all of this talk about the Python Royal blue, or the high grade blue on any Colt (such as a Woodsman Match Target), I often wonder how familiar people are with pre war S&Ws or 5 screw S&W fit and finish in general? Do you have some pre war S&Ws or any 5 screw K or N frames which have the bright blue finish? How old/new are your model 27s? Just curious.

I have a Model 27-3 (pic 1) from the mid-80s and a 27-2 I never bothered to date (pic 2). My blued Python is pic 3. I do have a pre-War (@1928) K-frame (pic 4) which has the best action of all my Smiths. I think part of that is the long action.









Thanks for giving me an excuse to post the pics.
