Valuation of "mixed bag" New Model No 3 Target Model revolver
I am curious how to value this NM No 3 revolver. It IS a NM No 3 with a fair amount of original finish, but the cylinder has been cleaned with an abrasive material, causing much loss of original finish, as have focal areas of the frame. It shipped in 1900 and has a special order serrated trigger. Also, the rear blade snapped and someone filed down the front sight to compensate for this. Sal Raimondi sold me an original front sight blade, and Ralph Tremaine sent me plans to recreate the rear blade, but nothing has been changed out on this revolver as it currently hits where you point it. This IS a NM No 3, Target Model, and has some condition; on the other hand, it has some significant condition issues, so unsure on how to assign a concrete value to this one.
