I have a good friend who participated in the recent Rock Island auction and was kind enough to share the auction books (two volumes) and the winning bids. Knowing we have constant inquiries and thread discussions on gun values, I wanted to share my recent discoveries. I only checked on the older Smiths, so please bear that in mind.
I offer the following for your perusal and illumination.
K-22 Masterpiece: Ser.#K37872 (1959* - their date), graded excellent - 98%, correct gold box - graded good. SOLD for $1,150.00
K-32 Masterpiece: Ser.#K319445 (1958), graded excellent - 95%, correct gold box - graded good. SOLD for $2,587.50
38/44 Outdoorsman Target: Ser.#S85905, graded excellent - 98%, correct gold box - graded good, all tools. SOLD for $1,380.00
I hope this helps put some perspective on prices. Please keep in mind these are auction prices - and any thing collectable is only worth what someone else is willing to pay for it... or how badly you want it!
Blessings,
Hog
