Help with 29-2 value

[tedog]

Looked at a 29-2 thats going to gun show Sat., Cond. is 99%, light turn ring, one 1/16 inch fleck under the cyl. where frame is round, Now the good part, it has near perfect cokes on it. Seller bought it new early 70's. Ser. N22XXX., 6 1/2' bbl. RR & WO rear sight. He changed stocks from targets to the cokes because they fit his hand. Glad he did. Now, the price is $ 1000 firm. It is very tight and shot very little, Owner said he shot it maybe one box factory rounds and 3-4 boxes of mild reloads. It truly is near mint except for the small fleck. Please give me your advise, buy or walk?

Might add, no box or tools.

I just bought a 1973 vintage 29-2 with 6 1/2" barrel from Cabela's. It was priced at $799, but they knocked $50 off because it showed up at the local Cabela's without the cleaning rod. A friend gave me a cleaning rod and I found a 1973 vintage instruction manual on eBay for $25. The manual references 1973 pricing for the replacement parts.

I just ordered a 29-2 on Gunbroker that is LNIB with blue box, presentation box, papers, and tools. It has a 6" barrel and is nickel, so it's not an exact comparison. I paid $750 for it.

Neither of my guns have cokes. I'm not sure what they add.

About $350-$400 depending on condition.
f.t.

$700 or so with correct grips which are about $75
The cokes are $300-400 depending on condition,maybe more.
