Looked at a model 1 today..( edit: 1 1/2 )
A guy walked into the LGS today with a few guns he was interested in selling. Had an 1882 ( edit: 1886 )Winchester in very good condition in 45-70 that I drooled over. Also had a Model 1 ( edit : single action model 1 1/2 in a nickel finish ) in 32 s&w.I looked it over, in great shape ( he said it had been refinished by a friend that worked for Turnbull). If he hadn't told me that it was refinished I probably wouldn't have known. So my question is, what would a reasonable price be? Judging by what he wanted for it I'm pretty sure it was a 3rd edition(change) model.

1- I thought the Smith & Wesson # 1 was in .22 short.
2 - What exactly is a Winchester 1882?

What did he want for it? With no pics, really hard to comment.
Are you looking at a Mod 1 in 22cal? Or another mod.

I thought he said it was a model 1. I looked at it quickly. The gun honestly looked brand new. So condition was excellent but it was refinished.
After looking at some pics, it looks like it's a model 1 1/2. It was a. 32 caliber. He was looking for just under $300.

".32 Safety Hammerless 1 st model" is at least a $200 gun as long as the firing pin isn't broken. A few years back I had one in very nice bluing condition but a broken firing pin. Sold it for $150 at the Orlando show (when you could do that). HTH. Joe

Apparently I have my numbers all screwed up today.
The rifle was an 1886, made around 1891-92. 45-70 caliber in amazing condition.
The pistol was a single action model 1 1/2 in nickel .
Looked exactly like this..same condition as well pretty much.

I'd say a 1 1/2 (New Model) 32 Center Fire in that condition (refinished) would easily be worth $300. In an auction it could go a little higher, but there were a lot of them made, many were sock drawer guns, so quite a few survived in pretty nice condition. Only NIB pristine copies bring any big money, and then just upper hundreds.

Mr. OP, this is your call. These are tough ones to advise.

OK, not a Smith; what did he want for the 1886, Win. 45-70? I already have 8 or 9 of the .32 Single Actions.

It was a round barreled model, I think the number he threw out was $6k. I am not up on those and don't have that much disposable income to even consider it.

To me the SA would be an OK buy at $250 to $300 so he is right in the ball park. You can buy shooters for $150 to $200 but if it was all original finish in that condition I would expect somewhere around $450. So with the refinish the price was like I said - OK.
Can't say for certain on the 1886 other than if it was all original and really nice, that also sounds like a reasonable asking price.
Just my quick opinion without seeing the guns.

A refinished 32 Single Action revolver is worth $300 according to Supica's book. It kind of depends on what you want to do with the gun. I have a few in the back of my safe that have all been shot, but the attraction quickly wears off as a shooter. A shadow box is an appealing alternative if I had more wall space. There are rare examples of this gun in 5", 8", and 10" barrels, but almost all were made with 3 1/2" barrels.
Part of the confusion may be with the name your seller gave you. There is a tip-up Model 1 1/2 in 32 RF, and it was confusing when the factory re-used the same name for their centerfire spur trigger back in 1878. They did the same for their Model 2 name, which was a 32 RF tip-up and a 38 Single Action in 38 CF. Today's accepted name is simply 32 Single Action, which is in 32 CF.

Not enough info on Winchester 1882 er um 1886. If 45-70, it could be a lightweight takedown variant (45-70 or 33 WCF) also we would have to know if it has any special order features, condition, antique vs modern, etc will fall have some effect on value.
As for the 1 1/2 32 refinished, I would say that $300 is upper end for a refinished example. If it perhaps had special grips, more. Also blue versions are rather scarce, but since its refinished, the significance of blue goes out the window.
