Default Help with a .32 Safety Hamerless

Pretty sure I know the answer here but I want to check. I have a lead on a blue .32 safety Hamerless 1st model with 3" barrel Ser # 356xx. Would a fair value be around $300? Looks to be about 90% Buy or don't buy?

It's not a steal, but then it's not over priced either. Depends on whether you need it more than $300. I'm assuming it's mechanically OK, of course, and no cracks or chips out of the grips. Ed.

If I saw a blued 1st Model for that price, I'd jump on it!
If you get that one, please post pics. May be a long time before I see
one again.

Seems like most of them tend to be nickle. A blued one is a little more scarce, and decent cond. 1st models don't show up every day. I looked for two years for a 1st to add to my 2nd and 3rd models. I never dis see a blue one only nickle for sale. If it's truly 90% and the mechanics are good, (check the firing pin, they have a tendency to break) I wouldn't hesitate at $300.
