My dad gave it to me when I was 18....about 50 years ago...it was used then...I have since passed it to my son...he took a pig(on the run) with it a few years back....the model 27 is, in fact, one of the most wonderful guns that was made by Smith...I still do like my model 52 as well!!
I've got a picture(of the pig) somewhere...BUT I can't seem to find it right now
