It may need a bit of TLC but I think I can make it look new or mostly so. No engraving or any of that, just some normal refurbishing of a gun that needs a little work. It took a little work to get it from the little old lady but she will get over it as soon as the bruise clears up. I think those were not her real teeth anyway. But here is my new 5" model 27 S&W.
