Default Bicycle; Found in Baltimore

I found this in Baltimore. One of our illustrious traders was holding this for my love of .32s....I wish the condition were higher, but it is really a nice gun and a perfect one is unaffordable on retirement income....

About the best I have seen Terry. I have a couple, but not with that quality of finish. I think I paid $450 for a blued gun a couple of years ago, so in your searches, what are you considering as the value for a top condition 2" 32 Safety. I do not see enough for sale to estimate. Wish there were production numbers out there for this gun.

What a little gem. It sure puts my 1904 2" to shame. But I only paid $65 for my piece. The Balto. Show was all ways a treasure trove. I first went in
1959. I was 12 years old. Best

Thanks for the compliments on the photos....
To answer Gary, I found that the .32 Bicycle in 98%+, with a box, will cost $3000....an estimate of course, but one I believe.

Terry: I certainly hope your value estimate is pretty close. I have a nickle one I did letter and is in near 96-97% that I didn't value even less than half that. I know nickle is probably more common than blued in this time frame. Mine dated to June 07.

Your gun is really pretty. Without nickel pealing, the nickel guess tend to look gorgeous, since the finish is easier to care for and less likely to show wear and rusting....they hold up better. I wish I had yours to go with mine, especially since the imprinting on the barrel is on the opposite side. If I do a show of my .32s, I will ask to borrow yours.

How much higher do you want? 110% 120% That gun is drop dead gorgeous in my opinion but that's only worth what you paid for it.

Jim,
My gun has some blueing wear on cylinder and side plate...it is nice,but I rate it about 88%-90%. It is nice, but alway looking for perfection. The one on one of the on--line auctions is at $4000 and rising....out of my range.

Well to me considering the age, that gun is stunning.
