S&W revolver ID help?

Logo on right side of frame. S&W guys, pre 80-81, right?? I can never remember when they moved it.

Never mind. Just saw the pin. Definitely pre 80-81 if it’s pinned and a right side logo.

You definitely don’t want that revolver. Old, and probably unsafe. Shoot me a DM I’ll take it off your hands.

Sideplate screw went away before trigger guard screw.

Yeah early -mid 80s, except J frames. I think they've always been on the left side until the newer ones. Now they're on both sides.

Sideplate screw went away before trigger guard screw.

Aha! I thought they both left at the same time.

Nope. My Pre19s are all 4 screws.

S serial prefix model 27, .357 magnum. I can't remember when they went away from the S prefix. I think in the 60s??

yeah, definitely not a 686, that would be stainless
The 27 is a good revolver, trigger can "clean up" very well.
Pinned barrel, looks like a set of aftermarket (maybe Hogue?) wooden grips.
