Default Need help on pricing my dads Colt Viper .38

2 years ago I bought a Colt Viper from my Grandfather from my Dads christmas present. I paid 175 for it and the guns in about 90-95% condition. Its stainless with wood grips,4 inch barrel all factory original. Ive been trying to get a solid price range for it but have seen some as high as 1300. Any ideas would help. Thanks.

There is a NIB blue Viper listed on GunsAmerica for almost 3K. You could also ask about prices on the Colt Forum:

Might be nickel Viper, but not stainless. These were only made in blue and nickel unless you have one of those rare one of a kind factory tool room experimental prototypes similar to a ss Trooper MKIII that surfaced recently. Compare it side by side with a known stainless gun and the nickel will appear to have a slight yellowish tint compared to the "whiter" look of the true stainless gun.
