Default Help value Russians

I'm helping with the estate of an old friend but my knowledge of the market for large, top-break S&W revolvers is limited. I think I have a Model No. 3 Russian 1st. Model aka Old, Old Model Russian (blue) and a Model No. 3 Russian 3rd. Model aka New Model Russian (nickel). Both are commercial and appear to be unmolested, with matching assembly numbers in the appropriate places. However, the 1st. Model has replaced stocks and the 3rd. Model carries an old replacement front sight blade. The OOM Russian is mechanically sound but the New Model Russian is remarkably tight and could be shot today,

I realize a no reserve, penny auction would bring a realistic price but I'd rather put a fair price on them and list them on Guns International. I'd like to hear your thoughts on a reasonable price for each. Thanks.
