Non-relieved N diamond targets

[6GUNSONLY]

What is a set of these in very good condition - no chips or missing wood - worth? I have a pair that came to me on a 3.5" .357 that don't really work on that gun due to ejection interference. I tried them on my 24-3 thinking the shorter .44 Special case might allow them, but the case heads still hit. This is going to damage a nice set of stocks over time, and I don't have anything else that they are appropriate for, so thinking of selling them. I did a search but didn't find a lot to go on as to a value. What are your thoughts?

I think a fair price is $200. A collector will pick them up for a pre 1956 N frame. You can sell them here on the forum under the Accessories For Sale section. There is an ad right now here with all sorts grips for sale, some similar and I think the OP priced them pretty well: https://smith-wessonforum.com/threads/s-w-grips-for-sale-ny.745414/

I think the value is closer to 250.
At 225 I don't think they would stay available long at all.
I'd also suggest selling them here.

Oh, I will definitely sell them here if that's what I decide to do. Just hesitating due to potential seller's remorse... and I didn't really know what they are worth. Thanks for the insights, all.

^^^ This. It depends on condition of course.

You guys obviously haven't been on eBay lately. Relieved non-diamond N frame Target grips are pushing $200.

why sell there with a high commision? and get a dozen emails ie; your product is being packaged,,,your product is being mailed....your product is on the way....Blah,Blah,Blah....then when you just LOOK at something,you get spammed for that....give me a break!..... sell or buy it here

He's not saying to sell it on Ebay, he is saying you guys are a bit behind the times on valuation. Non-relieved K-frame diamond targets are pushing $200 in very good condition. N-frame should be more.

I would keep them if you ever think you will have a need for them.

We really need to see pictures. Here are a couple sets, I've been offered $500 for the dark ones and I think they're worth it. I'd be surprised to find any nice ones for less than $300. I sure wouldn't sell either of these sets for that. If you think you're ever going to buy a nice N frame from the early 1950s maybe keep them. They're probably not going to lose any value. . . . . . If they're in good condition att $250 someone here will buy them in a heartbeat.

 

[JeffD607]

Educate me! As I look at both sets of diamond targets above, I see that the corner of the grip, next to where the trigger guard would be, has a slight taper to it. I have seen this now on cokes and diamond targets. Are these chips or were the grips made that way?
