A friend of mine brought me a couple of Mod. 10 snubbies to look at and help him put a price on them. He intends to sell them at a gun show next month.

First is a 10-5; ser# C998942 that I put at about 1967, stocks are nice but not numbered to the gun. Has finish loss and minor scratch on side plate; finish loss several areas on cyl; small scratch and dig on trigger guard. No box or papers.

Secod gun is a10-7; ser# AFJ9294, can't date this one. Has light freckling on barrel RH side; finish blemish on address. Stocks nice, not numbered. No box or papers.

Both guns would be nice shooters but not collectible.

Thanks for the help.

I'd think $350 +/- $20 would be fair to everybody involved. there's nothing special, just good solid basic hideout or back up gun

The SCSW4 shows Exc = $400 + 20% for 2" = $480. Of course that is variable by region. In my area of the Midwest you wouldn't find that for less than $500 and some listed for $600. I think $450 - $500 would be a very fair price.

A 10-5 sold locally (WI) for $425.00 FTF a week ago. I was a backup offer at $400.00. Similar condition, no box, no papers.

I just got an unfired 2" 10-5 with box and manual dated October 1966 for $400 last week

Anybody got a date on the 10-7?

I picked up two 2" 10-5s;
both 95%+, no boxes no tools,
one blue/round butt .......... one nickle / Square butt .....

in LGSs in W Pa. in late 16 early 17..... both in the $400 range.

Today prices are fairly stable...... finding ones for sale is more the issue.
would place mine in the $400-500 range.

His have some cosmetic issues....... $350-400max IMHO as shooters.

I've got a 2" Model 10 shipped in 1971 and marked to the DC Police. I bought it last year for $450.

I would not pay over $350 for the Model 10 snub nose in that condition in a face to face sale here in the Austin TX area.

I have a Model 10-7 square butt snub similar to the one I carried on the job. These are great guns and it's current role is my home protection weapon.

I have a 2" round butt 10 in much better condition that I gave $500 for a year ago. That is at the top for me even in better condition and more desirable 2" RB configuration. I agree the $400 estimate is on target for both those.

I purchased just yesterday a 10-5 snubbie for $400. Very nice bluing, grips are perfect too. I saw it Tuesday should gave bought it then. It's sb and dates 1973. Should have it next week.

Yup, 4th edition says the same thing.


Both shooter condition and not really collectible, so around $400 give or take. Regional differences apply.

I have a 10-7 RB from '81 that has a Tyler T grip on it and sits in my nightstand. I paid $250 for it close to 10 years ago and still think I got a deal.

Back in March of this year, I paid $408.00 for a Model 10-no dash snub nose. It is factory marked Montgomery, AL PD. I would say it is about 90% with SN matching stocks.

I thought I paid too much until I looked at the 4th Edition. It seems I paid about the right price according to the publication and with the provenance.

Otherwise, I think later Model 10's might be a little over priced at four hundred. Last year, I paid $450 plus buyer's premium for a Model 66-2 snubbie.

I think at $400 to $450, your friend may not find a buyer in this part of the country.

I paid about $450 for each of these earlier this year. The '51 M&P has no box, and the Model 64 NY-1 came with the box and all the do-dads. These were purchased outside of Denver.

A few months back I picked up a 10-5 2" square butt with box, papers and cleaning tool. $450 out the door of the gun show.

I bought this 10-7 a few years back for $400, looks to have never been fired outside the factory. no turn ring, perfect blueing, w/box paperwork & tools. if i were to sell it today id ask $550. so id say the one you have is a $400 gun around here, where you live seems to play a large part in the value of guns.

It appears rather evident that people seem to like their 2" K frames.
