I personally collect the Pre-Model Marked 27s. Although there is nothing wrong with the model marked guns.

Here's two I picked up that are as cool as it gets for me. They are almost impossible to find where I live. A Model 27-2 .357 with a 3 1/2" barrel and a 4" Model 29-2 .44 Magnum. The model 27 was used by a Californian who used it as a spare gun as an Indian policeman on the San Carlos Apache reservation in Arizona for a while. If you get a S&W, get one with recessed chambers like these. I wouldn't own these if they didn't have that.
N frames with a pinned barrels are real hot right now, especially the 38/44 models and Model 27's. Model 1950 and 1955 .45's have been hard to get and I rarely see one in good condition under four figures. Other models that are going up in value fast right now are the M19 and 66. Also nearly any four and five screw adjustable sight K frame.
I was fortunate to stumble onto these two earlier this year. 6 1/2" Model 29-2 and a Model 57. Both in their presentation cases and unfired since they left the factory.
