If it is a Model 27-2 it is carbon steel, not Stainless Steel. If it has a shiny, silvery finish it is nickel plated. (or perhaps at some point it had an aftermarket chrome plating job done.) Smith and Wesson puts a '6' in front of the model number of all their revolvers made from Stainless Steel, so a Stainless Model 27 would be a Model 627. The Model 627 first came out in 1989. When in doubt look at the Model Number stamped on the frame under the yoke. That will tell you exactly what it is. There are some Model 627 revolvers listed in S&W's current catalog, but they are all much more recent than a Model 27-2, which was made from 1961 until 1982. No idea if that is a good price because no idea what condition it is in. If it is in good condition, functions properly and the finish is in pretty good condition, that is a very good price. Here is a hint: look closely at the trigger and hammer. S&W never nickel plated triggers or hammers. If the trigger or hammer is nickel plated, that guarantees it is an aftermarket plating job. S&W always Case Hardened their triggers and hammers, which leaves a mottled blue color. If the trigger and hammer are Case Hardened, that does not guarantee it is the factory finish, but if they are plated, that guarantees the plating was done by somebody other than the S&W factory.
This Model 27 left the factory in 1959. The colors of the Case Hardened trigger and hammer have faded a bit over time. Case Hardening colors do that. But a hint of the colors can still be seen on the trigger.
