However, the target triger ("TT") and target hammer ("TH") are not noted on the box and may have been added later... Maybe the TT and TH are what came in the 1962 parts bag?
 
Like I said earlier, I'm not a collector of 19's, but if I ran across that one at a price I could afford, it would find a place in the safe.

Gorgeous!

You are correct! The standard trigger and hammer are wrapped in wax paper inside smaller envelopes in the parts bag, along with an extra firing pin and some drift pins.
 
I'd go $550 to $600 for a 19-1 in as nice shape as that one........IF I could find one!

Nice score there! Enjoy it. Regards 18DAI.
 
jdpress, your 19-1 was most likely shipped in or around 1961. I own K465xxx, which was shipped on 11/1/1962. Your condition estimate sounds conservative, but it is hard to pinpoint without seeing it in person. As mentioned, later 95% 19s usually fetch $350-$450, so a 19-1 would bring a significant premium, though less than a Pre-19. I hope that helps.

If you decide to sell it (I wouldn't if I were you), please let me know.

I have one with k260-0xx what year? Thank
 
Oh, you did good, really really good, and I am jealous.:D

Not really - - - well maybe just a little.

Very nice Model 19.
 
Looks like a dandy, I've got 2 19's. A 4" and 21/2" paid 500.00 each.
Saw at a gun show last week a new in the box 19-3 non fired as shipped from factory everything included along with a S&W letter of history. the guy wanted 1000.00 I didn't pursue it.
 
Yup, I agree. If I saw that package at one of my local haunts I would be willing to go $800-850. I never run into 19-1's in nice condition.

You never WILL run into them for that price either.
This thread started TWO YEARS ago, and the 750- 850 price Bill put on it would be about double now.
So, if you find a whole package as shown in pics for 850, my advice would be buy it.

The stocks on this gun shown would bring up to almost half the value of that 750...........
 
I have a 19-1,serial # k4584xx,according to standard catalog is around 1961. is there any new info. on number of 19-1's produced and how rare they really are and also current values as of 2014.
