In 1962 I bought a used S&W N Frame 357, it is a 5 screw pre model numbers, it later became the Model 27. I got the original box of Winchester 158 gr. shells, there were 12 rounds missing from the box, and a holster made by El Paso Holsters. No longer have that box of shells, but do have the rest. This revolver has gone through alot. Carried for a good part of law enforcement career when all they would issue is 38 sp. Amongst the rest of my Smiths this one stands out, but also like the K & even the little J frames. My only preference is with the N & K frames mine are all 5 screw pre model numbers, the workmanship is first rate.
