10-8 value

[Ryobi]

I have a retired NYPD 10-8, 4 inch. Blued. Significant wear to bluing, even more wear to original wood grips. Mechanically good, but this one has seen a lot of carry in service. Interested in value

Last month

I found a 10-5 VG condition 4 inch blue.
$355 out the door.
I have seen prices on well used ones of $250 in FTF deals.
Best guess I can give you from Wisconsin.

If by "mechanically good" you mean it times properly and smoothly on each chamber and is within spec for forcing cone-barrel gap, headspace, etc. -- that with your cosmetic description puts the 10-8 approximately in the NRA Modern Gun Condition Standards "Good" grade. Puts it in the $250 to $300 range.

Pictures might change that up or down depending, as would mechanical checks. If pictures show it's less worn cosmetically than one might imagine from description, and the mechanics and spec checks turn out to be cherry, value increases. If pics show it looks like its been dragged behind a car and barrel-cylinder gap checks at .014" and she spits lead, value decreases.

Last month I bought a worn 10-3 for 300 from a friend. I'm happy and the timing is perfect. The -3 is a rare variation and it has the original diamond grips on it. Larry

Picked up this 10-5 in mint condition for $399. Couldn't be happier.

I bought one of the Aussie M10-8s from Buds last summer. Timing is great, bluing is 80 %. I paid just under $300
