Hello, all.
It's been at least a few years since I've posted in this forum. I've always gained good insight and knowledge from you all.
I have an opportunity to buy a new model three 6 1/2 inch target that is in what I would consider excellent condition.
I have the same pistol, 6 1/2 inch target, dated approximately 1889. Mine however has a fair amount of patina, has been fired a lot and some putting in the bore.
The gun that I'm inquiring about today left the factory in 1888 and still has the bluing in tact although there are handling marks throughout the frame and barrel. The case hardening looks to be almost factory fresh. I would say it has been fired little to none. The bore, to the naked eye, is perfect.
It had belonged to a collector and was obviously stored very well. I've not been in the market for some time and have no idea on value.
The seller has asked me to make an offer but I just don't even know where to start.
Thank you for any and all information regarding this model in today's market.
