Default Baby Russian .38's Value Estimate?

By coincidence two acquaintances have asked me about the current values on these. One is a nickel First Model about 95 % + original grips, mechanically all there. The other is a Second Model Single Action about 98% nickel with original grips, mechanically all there as well. Neither have the box. Both have 3 1/4 inch barrels. SCSW values are a bit old now and the market has fluctuated some, so I'm wondering how much difference that may make? Thanks for your input in advance.

Cheers;
Lefty

The market has gone up and then back down since the SCSW was published. On these models I think the values in the book are about on.
