Years ago, you could get these guns for very little. In the late 80s, I bought my first 3-inch 13 for $221 new. Later sold it, immediately regretted it, and bought another. My sister needed a gun so I gave it to her and quickly bought a third. That last one cost $270 new. It was stolen, then recovered and returned to me more than a decade later. A refinish made it look like new again. I am hanging onto this one like grim death. Would hate to have to cough up todays prices for one.
