What is the current value of an S&W 1076 in excellent condition with two magazines and an S&W box numbered to the gun and labeled "FBI Academy" in good condition? THB91xx serial number.
1076 FBI with box value?

GB lists no recent closed auctions for an item of this description. That said, $2500-3000 sounds to be in the expected range to me, absent a major bidding war.

If you can prove Agent Mulder touched it before screaming like a beeatch, add a definite $1K to that.
If it was Ass't Director Skinner's issued 1076 (one was seen on his desk in an early episode), make that an easy $2K more.

I would gladly pay $4K fictional money for Mulder's gun. Maybe more for Scully's. 
OP
I suppose it would also be worth more if it could be proven to have belonged to Adolph Hitler but I only have the FBI labeled box and knowledge of how it came to me.

Today's FBI could probably accomplish that.

I saw a non-FBI 1076 at a show this weekend with an $1800 price tag on it. No idea if it sold at or near that price.
Please share the PM'ed offers that you're baiting for so that they can be compared with GB sticker shock prices

Got to say that seeing "Used Guns" on the S&W label is a first for me.

They would have been traded back to S&W and then S&W resold them on the commercial market. The "used" label protected them against new gun warranty claims plus added a bit of value on the other end.
That one is probably worth a letter. Especially if you want to sell it.
OP
There is no doubt about this being an FBI gun. It was purchased by a close family member who was an FBI Special Agent. He also was an an FFL holder. He purchased it directly from S&W along with five other like pistols. I wish he had bought 24! The serial number range plus the box marking "FBI Academy" plus it's purchase history prove it is an FBI gun. It has never been out of a family safe and was authenticated by our knowledgeable forum member. I do agree that a collector may want to get a letter from S&W but anyone who knows anything about this group of guns has enough evidence to prove it's authenticity.

That's an easy one, a search of the last 30 days' sales on a large auction site for this model showed sales prices of $1234, 1255 and 1275. The first had the box but aftermarket grips, the second no box, different grips and four mags, and the last was the nicest and original with two mags.
Thank you Sir!
