I don't think you would see such a revolver priced between $300 -- $400 in my area. Even with a lot of finish issues, they seem to start at $500 and accelerate upward quickly from there.

I think too many folks have seen articles in the gun rags talking up the M19 ("the best revolver of the 20th Century" or the like) so that these go for a premium. Whether they are worth it or not is debatable.
