Great looking gun if you bought it for shooter don't worry about the gold, It is in safe queen condition by the pictures. A lot of the smiths had that gold inlay in the marking's. I've never removed it myself but I heard its no big deal. Just be careful. Enjoy the HP it's one of my favorite range guns. The only one I like better is my 3 1/2 " 27 in 357 that is.

I am so jealous! I found a decent 28-2 and the guns shop refused to move below the sale price of $700. After UT tax it would have been $748....

I still have those bonanza gold inlay kits the bottle of gold dust is worth more today. My m27-2 in blue has the gold inlay that's wearing off. It does look like pump my m27-2 but at the sametime it's bling. I came with the inlay but the bluing is 99%.

My m28's were $695 with 6" barrels and my m27-2's were $795 with 6" barrels all of them are 99.99+or - finish. But nothing under 99%.

The one they had was like 94-95%, no box or anything...

Yeah, 799 is waaaay too high

You'd be surprised to see what people are paying for top notch Model 28s these days. As someone else mentioned here or in some other subforum about 28s, the days of $400 Model 28s are long gone.

Sounds a bit high to me.
I got a 6" model 28-2 brand new in the blue box with the screw driver and cleaning rod as well as all the paper work and the oil paper the gun came from the factory in.
I couldn't get the guy to come down on the price.
So I ended up paying the full ------$148.00 for it !!!
Of course this was in 1975.
