If I were selling the 1902, would price it around $400 or $450. Not sure on the 19-3, condition on both look very nice.

Timetesh. Ask, ole' gun dealer, Jim Supica what he would have paid you for the guns and then add 50% for current retail value! Ed.

Funny you should mention Jim. Whenever I walk down the hall to his office with a gun and mention price, he reminds me that he hasn't actively bought or sold in far too long to do it justice.

I'd agree with a mid-1907 shipping date. Also agree with the $400-$450 estimate in a private sale, assuming it's in the condition pictured with no other problems (bore condition, mechanics).

The world is small. Message in a bottle. I bought the Model 1905 1st change nickel (or 1902) from Sherl Folger by auction. Who bought from you.

Check me out "beretta09". How did Roy Jinks tell you the m date?
Don't know how to private message, but will do if you acknowledge receipt of this post.
Thank you.
