I recently purchased a used 4505. The original hammer, slide release, and decocker have been replaced by stainless parts. It has a Novak (custom shop) logo on the right side of the slide. Slight holster wear, but seems to function great. Just wondering what something like that might be worth. I know it's hard to tell me without seeing it first. Just wanting a ballpark figure.
4505..what's it worth?

The 4505s don't show up for sale all that often, 3rd Gens customized by Novak even less. It's really hard to put a value on a gun without knowing what work was done (or as you said: seeing it). I am betting Wayne did more than just swap out a few small parts. I could guess what work was done, but that is all that it would be. I have seen a few stock 4505s in very good condition sell for around $500-550. I have also seen a few sit on auction sites and never sell where the owner wanted $700+. With internal Novak custom work, they may just have gotten their price.
I agree with mlk18. Depending on what type, and how much work Novak's did, will determine the value of your 4505.
I've yet to see a 4505 in person. But I do have a like new 4505 slide with AS for when I do!

Pics man, Pics! 3rd Gen Smith 45's are my fav autos bar none, built like tanks and they just "feel" right in my hand.

The thought of a 4505 with stainless parts makes me sad

Is there any main difference value wise between adj sights vs standard sights?

sights
Fixed are more desirable, more flexability when replacing sights.

I was looking for one over the past few weeks. The 4506-1s with adjustable sights were ALWAYS more expensive than the fixed/Novak. With the 4506, there seemed to be little difference.
