I've seen them from 800 to almost 3k for a pre 27. You don't see too many around. The 28 is the enthusiastic plain looking sister.
I'm aware of that ,and your point is??He said pre-lock and pre-MIM parts, not Pre-27/Registered Magnum.
It depends on barrel length too it took me about 2 months on the EE to find a nice 5 inch and a reasonable price. A 6 inch one generally around 1000.
Probably half that (or less) if it is 10(6) = 3 1/2 or 4 inch barrel.

You said "pre 27", suggesting models made before Smith & Wesson renamed the Registered Magnum and Highway Patrolman.
