Good looking specimen, probably from 1949. Prices soared and then started down again over the last several months, but I would think a reasonable price on that gun today would be $475-550 depending on the part of the country where it is offered.

You did not get hurt on that. One in that condition doesn't come around every day.

I applaud your taste in old guns. Here is mine, ser no. C56xxx. Roy Jinks said it shipped in Sept 1949. It is a keeper because that was the same month I was shipped to Hartford CT. Yep, we are the same age.

That is beautiful and your pictures are excellent as well! I love those grips. I can't help you much with value on that one but I would gladly pay $500.00 for one that nice.

Whoa! That's a beauty.
Good show, you not only got him down to earth, but a few feet under for that one.
I would have gladly paid that and probably still be dickerin' if he said no to 5 bills.
I can sure see Sargent Friday packin' it.

Nice snag, Jeff! Here's her sister about 1 year down the road. (Oops threw an extra 0 in there. This one shipped in 1948.)

Mine is similar to yours except it's a non-model marked 4 screw. Ser# C4108XX. I also found it in a pawn shop about five years ago for $400.00. I've shot it several times and occassionally conceal carry with it in a belt holster. Yours is worth what you paid and then some. Good find! Now go shoot it.
