14-2 guidance

[Dio]

K38, 8&3/8 brl, standard target trigger and hammer. Mint bluing very faint turn line. Serial number K485XXX
Bought in 1980, never fired by me. Box included.
I'm thinking I'd like to parlay this into a 45Colt N frame.
My question is ..... what value should I place on it?
Regards

Dio, neat gun. Can you post a pic of the end white label?

These usually have a nice blue finish, but the side plate looks like surface rust was removed off of it? Is there rust ahead of the the address stamping? A description to go with the pictures would be helpful. From what I see, 700-750 for a value.

At any rate, you will have to put say another 700 with the proceeds for a nice 25-5 4" 45C

I'm currently away from the safe...I'll get additional pics in the next few days

No, I never had any rust on it...before it was in my possession, who can say, but I don't think so.

I purchased two Model 14-3s this year from an on line auction.



The first one shipped in Jan 1971 and included the original box.



Paid $880 for it.


The second one shipped in Jan 1973 and came with original box and tools (still in the plastic bag).





Paid $728 for it.

I apologize for the delay...family emergency.
The label is upside down on the box, and very hard to read.

17-2 bought new in 1980 that pistol set for a long time before selling

Think I would give it a good cleaning and store it properly. Those are worth more to me than what they are selling for, especially if it has numbered to the gun diamond magnas.
