There are several experts here that will be along shortly, but if it is original/unrefinished (which it appears to be in the photos) somewhere in the mid-high four figure dollar range sounds about right.

That's a beauty and a quick glance suggests it is in excellent original condition. I would guess Murphydog is in the ball park for value (mid to upper 4 figures)?

$7500 would be a good place to start.

Mine is an 8 3/4 also at about 95%. Been figuring abt, at least 6500. Been seeing a lot of re-blued guns and ones with the bbl cut go for over 3000. The KC guns that are well used, the Woodlawn boys had one that went for 3500. The KC a guns seemed to sell for 2500 or less not too long ago. The one you show in the pics is a clean gun, although a common bbl length should be worth what Doc44 said. Are you looking to buy it? Larry

I would agree with Bill ( would be pretty foolish to disagree with him on such matters). I bought a 8 3/4 (98+%) over a year ago, with box and Ropers. Adjusted to eliminate these items, $7500 is pretty close.

Love the gun. One of my favorite lengths!!! Don't sell it, as they are becoming more and more difficult to find in that condition.

Congrats,
