Somewhere between $XX.XX and $XXXX.XX

(Sorry to be a little sarcastic, but we need a great deal more information to post an opinion. Like pictures, etc.)

If mechanically sound and with matching numbered parts, I would guess about $12-1500. Others may have a different estimate. Hope this is helpful.

I'd agree with this, but looking at those pictures I would say it's probably closer to the $1500 mark.

Sorry about the upside down pics---if you right click on one and click "open in new window" it comes up right. Thank you for the positive responses.

If that finish is original and the parts have the same SN, I would figure that closer to $2500 or better. IMHO. I'd be interested in a heartbeat!

I did forget to add that all numbers match, even the grips. Original finish, also.

Around here, that gun for sale at $1500 wouldn't stay on a seller's table long enough to cast a shadow.

Jackpearl - I can't tell from the pictures, but what makes you say the finish is original? Not saying it isn't, just wondering.

I have no reason to believe otherwise--no star or date on the grip frame, trigger and hammer still show color case hardening. I realize neither is 100% proof but is my opinion.

That may be a bit high, this one went for that but I think was in better condition: https://cwocauctions.proxibid.com/as...ction-Revolver

If you look through that auction there was a large pile of triple locks in there, many went at the 1500 mark.

The T Locks in that auction were mine and for there condition I thought they bought good money.
There are plenty more where those came from.
I started with 108 and am pulling out a few here and there.
Watch her auction, she will wind up with them.
There will be some nice ones for sale at the Santa Barbara Gun Show.
Ser. # 25 6 1/2" .44 very little finish fine bore and dished grips.

Hey Larry when is the Santa Barbara gunshow? I am down in King City for a few more weeks and love to come see you and your toys. Will be going to Livingston CA for my next project.

Dan, The Santa Barbara Gun show is July 19th & 20th. at the Earl Warren fairgrounds. A number of the S&WCA members plan to be there and hold a "California" bunch get together. Would be great to see your smiling face among the attendees. (Note: This is a REAL gun show, no Rugers allowed ) Ed.
