My condolences on your Dad's passing. That happened to me in '94.
Mike nailed the prices, so that's about what they're worth.
But since they were your Dads'.......they're priceless.

Your revolvers look to be very nice,all are colectable.dont no the market in your area,I think any of them could bring 400.to 800.bucks. Do you have boxs tool kits and paper work maybe more ,who knows. Personally I would keep them, sentimental resons.

Welcome to the forum. My condolences on losing your Dad.
The Highway Patrolman is a 5 screw and the upper sideplate sscrew went away in 1956 according to the SCSW so the gun is earlier than you thought. I would say it's probably worth more than $475 - $550. It looks to be in very good condition from the pictures. If you tell us the serial number we can nail down the year. You can x out the last 2 numbers if you don't want the whole world to know the number.
I would reconsider selling your Dad's guns. Once they are gone you will probably never get them back.

I went back and read your post again and see where you say "inherited several handguns" and we don't know the whole story so maybe selling these 2 is not a bad idea. It's just that we have seen cases where someone sold Dad's/Granddad's or someone special guns and regretted it later.

Craig, condolences on the loss of your dad.
And as already mentioned, I suggest you don't sell them. I don't think I could ever sell a firearm that I might inherit from my dad or my father-in-law. The sentimental attachment would just be too great.

Hi Craig and welcome to the forum. As other have expressed, please accept my sincere condolences.
Nice pieces. Any chance you have the original boxes and/or paperwork?
Make sure you won't have seller's remorse at some point in the future.

Condolences on your Dad's passing. My dad passed in 2009 & I have the privilege of having his S&W 38 revolver. I only inherited 1, but make sure you really really want to sell them. You can't unring the bell. Every time I look at or shoot the gun I think of how he taught me safety & respect for guns.
Much success whatever you decide.

I'm sorry to hear about you losing your dad. I lost mine a year and a half ago now, and miss him every day. He left me several handguns, and I won't be parting with any of them.
As far as putting a dollar value to them, it is all about condition and extras. The boxes, tools, and paperwork add value and collector interest. If you post the first four letters/numbers of the serial number we can help with a date. Both of those models are very popular here on the forum, and unless you are committed to selling to your friends you can get a good price for them here.
