Age and Value of Dad's Model 36-1

[SGT ROCK 11B]

if it really was your fathers gun....how can you put a price on it? seriously

Preferably cash and in $100 bills.

If you don't sell it the grandchildren will after you pass. I saw it happen with lots of cops I worked with.

Those are interesting grips that I have never seen before, but they hide the beauty of the revolver too much for me. I'm sorry, I didn't mean for my post to be critical. That's a really nice revolver for sure with great memories for you.

Those Bianchi grips were actually very popular in the 1970s.

I’m administering his estate for my siblings, and they have claim to it, too. Just trying to get an idea of the market value to report back to the heirs, to see whether they prefer it be sold, to add funds to the estate we all share, or whether one heir wants to keep the gun itself, as part of their share of the estate.

Though my Dad owned it, he never shot the gun, and he was generally opposed to gun ownership. It wasn’t a topic we bonded over. I think Dad bought this gun at the urging of my sister’s husband, who was a law enforcement office. So, no real sentimental value. I’m just trying to do right by my siblings.


I really appreciate everyone’s comments here. I couldn’t get this information anywhere else.

My condolences on the loss of your father. You are doing the right thing and good luck.

Me too. I learn every time I log on. Of course I’m no high bar.

I want one. And considered a 36-1 on GB just last night. $699. But those add-on costs, plus not being able to handle. I keep hoping I get lucky with a face-to-face on those few models I plan to add. A model 36 is one of those models.
