3913 TSW value?
Have a 3913 TSW, no box, 2 mags. Has some handling marks and a bit of holster wear on the slide, frame is real clean. A pure guess would be 95-96%. The other side looks the same. Great looking barrel. I don't know much about these, any ideas?

Awesome! That is the 3913 TSW that uses the short 7 round mag (same size as the CS9 with a different base pad) and has the reduced grip tang. Although the mag you have in it appears to be a standard 8 round 3913 mag. They are more valuable IMO than a standard 3913 TSW because their shorter profile and tang makes them a little more concealable. They were also not in production for very long, maybe a year or two. I would estimate its value, based on local sales and what I see online, at approx. $525. But the market on 3rd Gens fluctuates quickly and the supply is currently not meeting the demand. So it's real value (of course) is what someone is willing to pay for it. I have seen a lot of TSW guns hitting the $600-650 mark lately.
Then again if you wanted to sell it to me, then I would say $350 seems reasonable.

Easily a $600 gun, locally ladder13. IF you ever see one for sale!
The 3913TSW without the stupid rail and with the grip cut out were only made for a little over a year, IIRC. Great pistol! Hope this helps! Regards 18DAI

I bought one from Kittery Trading Post late last year and paid $535. It was 93% and came with the box, papers and a Don Hume holster.

The TSW is a premium treatment and differs from the non-TSW in two ways. Beefier side rails and each slide is hand fit to a matching numbered frame.
Buy the gun.

I have one of these. It's my daily CCW. DEFINITELY a gem of the 3rd Gen Smith autos! I'll never get rid of mine!
