I have a 36-1 , 3" that I would say is a 98% gun, no box or papers. Can you gents on this thread give me an idea what it may be worth in the current market? Thanks

I will take it, PM already sent

I will take the Galco holster for $95 shipped.

I will take the 629-5. Tim

I will take No. 4, K round conversion targets.

Am surprised nobody has mentioned the Lew Horton Models 24 and 624 with 3" barrels in 44 Spcl. They are what turned me from a casual Smith owner to an enthusiastic collector. Put some Culina combats on them and you have something. However, I will say the recently-acquired 3.5" 27-2 is a close...

I'll take the black Galco holster for $45 shipped, as per PMs.

I will take the 25-5 as per PMs. Tim

Greetings gents, I get confused with the Model 25s and 625s trying to figure out what is 45 LC and what is 45 ACP. I am looking at a 3" Model 625-3 (RB) that says 45 Cal Model of 1989 on the barrel. According to Wikipedia, that should be a 45 LC but seller says it is a 45 ACP. Thought I read...

I will take the Bucheimer, Thanks, Tim
