Default 35-1

I have found a 35-1 in box with tools and despite a search here have failed to find any recent valuations. I searched past Rock Island and gunbroker sales but not much there either
Any current ideas?

Haven't seen a nice one under $1k for a year or two; not that many turn up where I shop anyway. I'd expect to see a 98% with box and papers priced at about $1200 and sell somewhere north of $1k. Maybe more on an auction site. Good luck.

There’s one on Cowan’s that sold in 2019 for $940 with box, and a couple of more recent ones on true gun value. One sold 4 days ago for $1100 with box, two weeks ago for $671 without box, and two months ago for $898 without box. I’d say you’d be in the $1200 ballpark with box and tools.

I bought my 35-1 three years ago for $1000; no box, etc. I’ve been a S&W person for 50 years and had never seen one. LGS store had one and I bought it. A favorite in my small collection.

If you sell one gun at auction then that is the 'current' price.

But, if you sell ten guns at auction then you will see what the market can do, on average. All over the place...

Hammer prices on the dates listed.
All gone, but, not forgotten.

Actually I kept one. Guess which one... (it's in the picture)

Model 35-1 09-08-2019 M40446 $961.00

Model 35-1 09-08-2019 1334269 $1,126.00

Model 35-1 10-06-2019 M62194 $992.00

Model 35-1 10-20-2019 M68946 $1,201.09

Model 35-1 11-03-2019 M57920 $1,325.00

Model 35 11-03-2019 63424 $1,075.00

I had decided to sell my -1 but keep my pre 35 (top right). It's the star of this small Kit gun collection.

Unlike some others, I leave some out there so other members
can have one.

Interesting concept.

Well, with your two that's twice as many as I have.

I guess someone will have to go without.

You didn't mention the condition of the 35-1 you found, makes a big difference when establishing value.

Also recognize when comparing prices, that the Pre Model 35 and Model 35 are built on the smaller I Frame, while the Model 35-1 is a J frame. In like condition the I frame can have a $100 to $200 premium over the J Frame model.

Im confused. Are we talkin about the 32S&W long ctg. Six shot, little frame? The ones back in the late 70s I hated to get in a dist. monthly shipment? Along with 41s. Just didnt sell in my area. Ended up trading for salable ammo and leather. No matter, still made cash.

Mike,

It's the 6" .22/32 Target. Just a Kit Gun but with the longer barrel and only came with the square butt. The front sight blade is a Patridge instead of the ramp quick draw style.

It's the Model of 1953 evolution of the Model 1911 .22/32 Heavy Frame Target; the early version HFT of which was known as the Bekeart model.

This is my M35-1 for comparison. It's going to be for sale at my estate sale one day.

Beautiful J frame!

Probably not, but are the grips stamped with the serial number of the gun on the back of the right grip/

I have seen pictures of that display in the past and assumed
they were all yours. I am not near as jealous now.
Nice picture of a spectacular display.

You assumed correctly.

They WERE all mine.

The display picture is from the 2019 Symposium that I attended with them.

After the Symposium ended I sent 10 to auction.

I kept the most special one.

It was a few decades of snatching them up to get up to the eleven I owned.

I posted above the auction dates and results so that members here could get a glimpse of their potential sale prices.

As a follow up, I went to see the seller today, and although a very nice gun I passed. It just failed to excite me I guess as the frame was not a good fit in my hand. Very nice gun though, I would say almost unfired
