I was not looking to buy this revovler. No at this time.

BUT! I am forced to make an offer on it , since the seller asked me to make an offer and He will make me a deal that I wont be able to refuse. LOL

For entertainment purpouse , If You were looking at a late 50's 95% 4 screw pre 29 , 6.5 inch ,with decent cokes on it ( no box) what kind of a deal You would NOT be able to walk away from even if You were not looking for the gun ?

Thanks.

Considering what the Cokes are worth, I'd say $1000 would be a screaming good deal.

If I was selling I would start at $1500. Great deal would be under a $1000.

I figure mine is worth $1500 or so and I recently turned down a $1900 offer for it :-O

Send the Buyer my way.....

Thanks You everyone.

Finding out that there is also : a black/blue .44 magnum factory box and factory letter that states how and when the gun was shipped.

How does that effect the value?

I will have to make an offer on the everything.

The box in good shape with the correct Tools adds about $500 to the total and the letter another $50.

a lot

but I would do a little research first, does the letter say something about the box?

Doc44 has a thread on these boxes, see if the blue box is correct for this gun, the year can definitly help

Black/ Blue box with .44 magnum written on it . Screwdriver is silver. No other tools. Year I think is 1958

I'm not looking for one- but at $1000 I couldn't count it out the Benjamin's fast enough!

With the box , screwdriver and letter?

I would be buying at $1200 - 1500 and selling at $1800 to $2000. All depending on condition, and what the issues are that takes it down from 100% to 95%. A 1000% with box and tools is $3000+

What issues?

I am not sure , the revovler is really nice with small line on the cylinder and maybe tiny blue wear near the muzzle and thats it.
I call it a 95%. Maybe its nicer. I dont know.

If you pay anything under $1,500 it is a steal,If you pay $1,600-$1,700 it is a deal.

Absolutely! You always want to buy the whole package. If there are extra grips, ammo, brass, rugs, cases, etc available you want buy it all. You can always back out items if the seller has reservations but it's usually difficult to add items after you start to make offers.
I have seen early 44s for sale, I have a 5 screw. Have not seen that many for sale with the box and tools. I would move on this like a velvet sledgehammer!

Those are the issues ... anything down from 100%. I can't see the gun, and if it is less than 100%, I need to know those things to place a value on it.
