686 no dash like new in box

[Surprisewheeler]

Here is a 686 no dash s#aafxxxx that appears to be factory fired only. Curious as to what you all think. And what kind of value would you put on it. Has matching number box and even the tool set in a never opened bag. Thanks

And I posted in wrong section... can someone way better at this forum than me move it to the correct section?

I've never been one to get all excited about the box and paperwork. For me, a fair price range for the gun itself these days in that condition would be $800-$1000. I know some people place additional varying prices on the box and the accessories but as an old time state trooper who also had a massive collection of vintage Smith and Wesson revolvers once told me: "the box and papers don't shoot." Good luck.

Nice looking revolver. You can cross check with GB to get an idea. I'm thinking for BNIB or LNIB minimally $1200-1300 to start. Good luck.

Photo 2 and 3 are an excellent illustration of factory test fired only.
Nice example.
My nickel model 58 for comparison.

I agree with brendonjames 65 on the pricing, especially the "to start." And for a gun in this condition, box and papers make a HUGE difference. VERY nice example.
