Those are fine revolvers and congratulation on acquiring one.
If you can tell me how much you paid, then I can tell you exactly how much it's worth.

My 617-4 6 inch is a beauty, Cost me $500 as you see it in total.

That was an extremely good deal!

Very nice indeed. You have $500 in the gun, rail, Ultra Dot, and speedloaders? That's what I see in total. Or did you mean just the gun?

Does it have the Hillary hole? That would make a difference to me.

They don’t come up used here very often. I paid $699 new a few months back for my 4”. Not a great price, but there it was and there I was...

The kitchen-table FFL I have dealt with quite a bit has had a 4-inch 617-6 available for months for $600 and it hasn't sold. It looks new - but Mr. McGoo must have done the final polishing at S&W + it has the H. Hole. Hate to say this on SWF, but I paid $335 for my Mk IV Standard and the finish on it is an order of magnitude better.
The 617-4 does not have the lock. I know you can get the newer ones with the lock way cheaper. I believe this is the only model with 4” barrel with a stainless steel 10 shot cylinder without a lock. I’ve seen them on GB for $2k. But I know that’s probably extreme.

Bought it as you see it. I have added a new S&W rear sight assembly, and the 22LR bullets. And it is a dash -4 with no internal lock.
I agree with just about everything you said. Don’t know that 2G’s is obtainable, if so, I would sell my boxed -4.
I’m thinking about $1,000-1100 maybe a little bit more to the right buyer.
I paid much less but it has no relevance, imo, as it was not last week or last month. HTH

You did well, those 10 shot -4’s are hard to find.
Wow, you got a heck of a deal on that!!!
Without photos, and accepting a range of what might be called "really clean" I'd say your guns' FMV is somewheres $1000 to $1400/$1500. I own a really clean 4" 617-4 myself that I've considered selling on and off, and have viewed quite a few comparable auction sales.
The 617-4 was only made for some months before the lock showed up, so not only is it the only 10-shot prelock 617 ever made w/ a steel cylinder, it's also not very common.
Your 4" is also worth well more than a comparable 6" 617-4, I suspect cuz the 6" (used to own one) weighs about a ton....

Are the -4 laser etched (or stamped) on the barrel? Or both?
