I think we can all agree that the prices on Smith & Wesson especially prewar models has gone up considerably in the last couple of years. Just look at the David Carroll auctions that have finished and the prices that he has realized. Some of David's items have sold well beyond the "suggested blue book prices" that are posted out there.

And I think all of us if we came across a super clean early target model at a gun shop would be more apt to pay a higher price just because it was right in front of us at the time and they don't pop up every day.

Most of us have been fortunate to come across very clean guns from private parties over the years and have been able to purchase them at below value prices I know I for one have several guns like that in my collection but those finds are getting harder to come by.
