Welcome to the forum.
95% might get you a very rough ballpark figure. But one person's 95% estimate may not look like everyone else's, nor does it confirm if it's 95% of the original blue, or the 2nd or 3rd re-blue.
Not a lot different from evaluating cars; good photos, details and accessories are everything.
Take to a gun shop and have them look it up in the Blue book of gun values. Then take to another shop and compare results.

Based on the information given, it’s a solid bet that these revolvers are probably worth somewhere between $750 and $25,000 each.

RM's were essentially custom guns....they could be ordered with various barrel lengths, different sight options, grip options, etc. All of the features can affect the value of the individual gun. That's why we ask for pictures and more info.
Good luck with getting more info....it will be interesting to see!

Post some pictures, we'll give our best estimates. . . and those are likely to vary widely. The more and sharper the pictures the better information you'll get. Also include any associated materials; boxes, registration form, etc. etc. as all those pieces are valuable; any family/owner history is helpful too. You'll probably get some offers as well.

Don't go to a gun shop. Post good pictures and descriptions here. You are less likely to get shafted and more likely to get good info.

Yes if he can post good photos here.
But he can go to a gun shop and ask for the blue book value; just not ask what they'll give him for it. Those are two different numbers.

There are WAY more variables to value than just condition, although it is a big one. And, as pointed out, "95%" is subjective, irrespective of the implied accuracy of using a percentage. Welcome to the forum. You can get great answers if you supply more information. As is, your asking for a haircut over the phone.

I need one. Do you have a slot open this afternoon? You got my phone number. 
Also, I have a nice Ford pickup. What's it worth?

In my case I am pretty sure none of the skeletons in my family closet were ever holding registered magnums.

hey,
Sweetwilly... I realize that there would be no way for you to know this, but the brain trust that lies within this forum literally wrote the book/s on S&W and collectively hold more information about the company and its products than S&W itself - and they will kindly (maybe with a bit of jealousy given that your first post has you holding not one, but two RM grail guns that collectors spend decades looking for) share all of this knowledge with you for the low price of $free.99.

Another aspect of the value, and this is very subjective, might have to do with the inheritance itself!
It may be something as simple as sentimental value.
Or, perhaps, the ancestor had some unique or colorful history that particularly relates to the ownership (and use!) of not one, but two Registered Magnums?
That might be as interesting (or more so) to hear about as seeing some pictures!

I hope we didn't scare the OP off. Maybe it was just a drive-by.

You may want to revise your estimate when you consider all the places big monkeys can grow hair... 
And I hope that thought doesn't scare away the OP... ...Ben

.357 regisered magnums
To all...
did not want to start a war. The rifleman had an article on the guns, but value was subjective, so I thought I would see if anyone had some thoughts. Also have letters from Smith. Since I am new here how do I go about putting pics on here.

Not a problem. We are just trying to tell you that the more data we have, the more we can help. When we didn't hear from you, we started goofin off. You can't leave us unsupervised too long.
Give us the specific configurations of the guns. If you have letters, tell us who they shipped to.
There is a BIG difference in value for a gun ordered by a Texas Ranger or FBI agent compared to one shipped to a hardware store for inventory.

Those are great (valuable) guns. I'll slow down on questions while you're still posting pictures.

.357 RM
The guns were shipped to the Montana Hardware Co. one in 35 and the other in 39. Since the Montana Hardware went out of business in 73, they were a part of the ACM co.. I am trying to find records for the sales of guns to try to find who they were sold to. Bill

Wow, this thread changed in tone very quickly! Initially, it was very joking.........then sweetwilly45 shows his pictures of his "extraordinary jewels" and BOOM! It got serious!! Thanks so much for the pictures. You are a very fortunate man, and your father had a fantastic collector's eye. Thanks for sharing them with us, and I look forward to seeing what else you find out about your guns.

Bill:
We are very grateful for your sharing. An additional observation:
The brochures you have with your guns are actually slightly different and representative of the two dominant pre-war Magnum brochures. You will note that the one (the earlier brochure) has the primary image of the gun with an attached grip adapter, while the other (later brochure), shows an image of the gun with magna grips and a grip adapter in the inset.

Gotta tell you sweetwilly, in all the years I've been hanging around this place, I've never seen ANYONE toss TWO high-condition registered magnums on the table in their first thread! Wow!
Oh, and a beautiful early .44 magnum just to sweeten the pot!
Wow again!

Wow Richard, you don’t miss a thing! Interesting that the earlier brochure showing only the Wesson Grip Adapter configuration was included with a gun wearing Magna grips. I’m assuming here that the Magna grips on both guns are serial number matching to the frames.

I’d say your 95% is very accurate. There is nothing like in hand evaluation, but my thought’s are they are on the upper end of the scale. My round number is 9-12k each considering boxes sight adjustment tools and you mentioned letters. A lot of factors influence the final value. Using a trusted seller on an auction sight would yield the maximum value but there are cost associated. Good luck with them. Were they mine I’d have a very tight grip on them!

Bill, the S&W Historical Foundation may be able to help find information on those guns. You might check with Doc44 about that.
Also, let me be the first to invite you to join the S&W Collector's Association. We have a symposium in June in Concord, NC. It would be a delight to see a display of your guns there.

Dang, I just ain't living right. I wonder if your father may have known a fellow named Elmer Keith?

My dad was a collector of all things Smith, and Colt as well as Winchester. I have never shot them, and never will. I shoot my Ruger old style Blackhawk. I do not think my dad ever shot them, at least not in my presence. I do have a tight hold on them, and they reside in my best safe.
