FBI 27-3 Commemorative

[woodlecj]

Saw a very nice FBI Commemorative today. SCSW says there was a run of them in 1983 of 3200. It is not in it's wooden box, but a newer unmatching plastic box, so no value there. They want $599. What would you pay?

Thx,
Craig

I have no interest in collecting commemorative guns, so $599.00 would be close to the top price I would pay for a shooter.

IMHO "Commemorative Guns" are usually worth less than unmarked versions, unless of course you are affiliated with said agency. If you are then there might be a sentimental factor to figure in, but for most of us a standard unmarked version is always a more desirable gun.

I would JUMP on a clean, 5" Model 27 for $599

I've seen them for about a grand, like new in box with all accessories. $600 for a new Model 27 by itself is in the ball park, depends on how bad you want one.

I had one for sale over a year and it finally brought $750 shipped and that was to a guy "on the job" who really wanted it. Very nice gun but as others have commented, these commemoratives just don't bring the bucks.

a nice gun....

As COLT SSA said... I would jump on it too. How many 5" bbl M27's have you encountered?

Never mind that it's a commemorative edition, if it is not in original pristine condition with everything that orginally came with, it's a moot point.

That price is decent for a relatively uncommon barrel length on a M27.

Thanks for all your responses. I'll look at it as a 5" 27 then. I'll probably head to the LGS today.

Sold one from my late brother's estate about a month ago for $750. Don't see how you can go wrong at that price. It may not be a steal but is certainly worth that kind of dough.
