I think value of a sought after model, variant and barrel length in this condition comes down to timing. If one is willing to wait for the right buyer then maybe you get more. If you want a quick sale, the price of the gun would need to move the needle for the average Joe. Someone who collects Combat Magnums and is missing a no-dash may pay more (let's say $800 for this one) until he/she finds one in better shape. If I was looking for a shooter M19 in similar condition to this one, I can probably find a pre-lock 4" for around $500. Maybe I would put a slight premium ($100) on a shooter no dash.
