High Standard Supermatic Value

[Rubone]

I am looking at a High standard Supermatic S101 Small button pistol and trying to get an idea of value. It may be unfired but I have not been able to inspect it. One grip is cracked/broken. In the box. Any help on value would be appreciated.
TIA
Robbie

Robbie do you have more pictures.

Looks very suspect to me....VERY

I have several. you can get wood replacement grips that look better anyway. I am not a collector and it's not a 41. $725 comes to mind. Those are very accurate. I like it. They are not picky on ammo and I bought 3 Triple K magazines for spares that work perfect. I like the take down. East to clean. It is a target gun out of the box. Are those just handling marks on the finish?

One of those 2 smaller boxes probably contains a spare magazine and the other barrel weights and a muzzle brake. Those extra parts are worth close to $200.

If everything’s there and as new, I’d grab it for $700. These guns were intended for standard velocity ammunition. If they’re fed a stead diet of HV ammo, a frame rail can crack. Inspect it carefully.

If it is a Hamden gun, which is early, I would think $ 700 to 800 would be the ballpark. Later gun, not so much.

Only this Paul. What looks off to you?

The frame color and lack of markings.
Doesn't seem to bother anyone else so far though.

I think the rear sight is a Davis too.
I have a flight king with that style sight.

It appears to look the same as this one,

I second, third and fourth this advice. I've been buying HIgh Standard .22 target pistols since the 1990s, and my brother and I have at least 2 dozen High Standard .22 pistols between us. With any HIgh Standard .22 pistol, absolutely make a visual and tactileexamination of the entire top of the magazine well and the rails in its vicinity. Drag a thumbnail along the rails to see if you can feel a crack. I learned about this the hard way. I bought a Victor that I didn't examine well enough and it turned out to have a seriously cracked frame. I only have myself to blame. I was lucky in that I was able to get a replacement frame from the Houston plant before it closed.
