That's like asking "how much is a truck worth?" Condition and other originality issues? Grips? Barrel length? How good is the refinish ranging from factory done to bubba done. Also caliber? I'm afraid we need a little additional info and photos.

Only photo I have. It's for sale at a garage sale near me. It's a .44, from 1914, blued recently(few years ago) minor rust on trigger, all serial numbers match including grips, trigger and hammer still tight.

I wish I could find garage sales with stuff like this. I'm really good at finding broken cheap plastic toys and mismatched Tupperware.

From the one picture it looks like a nice refinish ........ better than average. The stocks look really nice and if they truly match the gun it would lead me to believe the gun should be in similarly nice condition. A picture of the other side of the gun would be helpful because, at least in my rather humble experience, the care used in refinishing the side plate can make for a winner of a refinish versus a dud and would likely affect value.

What are they asking? I'm thinking something that nice at a garage sale is gone by now.

Just for fun I'll throw out a wild number regarding value with only the one photo as a starting point. How about $750?

Somewhere around $1200 for a "project" gun around here. Judging by the picture, it looks like the project may have been completed. The gun actually looks pretty nice. One thing for sure is that, if the other side of the grips look as nice as the side showing in the picture, I would pay $200 for them alone and call it a good day.

For a reblued (or renickeled) Triple Lock, I would venture about $800. There was one that sold recently on the classified section of this forum, that may have been reblued, but probably not, and was modified outside the factory to .45 Colt, and it sold for $825.

The Gun was Reblued as stated in my Listing.Looking at the OP's Gun I would say it's a $1,000-$1,200 Gun on any given Day.
