6” Ashland 617 no under lug value

[Revolverfan72]

I just acquired a 6” 617 6 shot with no under lug in satin finish that appears to be one of the 116 made guns for Ashland in 1991. The grips are dated June 7, 1991. SN is BEJ4xxx. I’ve seen evidence of these selling for as much as $3500 3 years ago. I know markets can be tricky. What do you think it’s worth? I have no box or papers. It has a turn ring on the cylinder, but I’d call the condition excellent.

Congrats on a nice find. It appears to be the Standard (non-target) model.

Yes it has the narrow (3/8”) hammer and trigger. I think that makes it product code 100565, 116 made. Can anyone confirm?

Do you think I’m close on the value of $3500?

In used condition and without box IMO, no. But they dont come up for sale very often. You wont get it if you dont ask it.
