Found a Model 19-5 am interested in purchasing. Blueing looks good and has original wood grips. Asking price is $450.
Is this a good price?
thanks,

It would be in my area. BEAT UP 19's go for $400-$500. I keep hearing about cheap K-frames, but not out here in the Pacific Northwest.

Here's my track and chart. The chart is six prices and seven months behind the track data but you'll get the idea. There aren't enough data points to establish a decent trendline but the average is probably good enough. Better examples would command higher prices, especially with box, papers, tools, etc..
Smith & Wesson 19-5 2-1/2 inch barrel. Revolver in .357 Magnum,.38 Special, Plus P. Bluebook of Gun Values (32nd Edition) indicates between $325 in 95% condition and $550 in 100% condition for this gun. I have 33 recorded prices for this model gun from $395 to $795 over a period of 4 Yrs 9 Mos ending January 25, 2012. The average price as of that date was $536. No refurbs, no refinishes, regular sights. All represented as 95% or better. No distinction for engineering revision, if any, no special editions, no distinctions for box, papers, tools. Current or last MSRP is $457.

Model 19-5 value
I just paid $515 shipped from a forum member recently for a 2-1/2" blued with the original and another set of grips, no box. I felt that was more than fair. You can add that one if you wish.

An average Model 19, (any dash) will be tagged around $500.00 at my favorite dealer. They go up from there.

Saw 2 Model 19's like the ones you describe in, at best, fair condition in the LGS yesterday. $450 each and he would not come off of that price. "I'll sell'em to somebody" was his reply. so, that is what you would pay around here.
I bought 2 model 19-4's last week. 1 I paid $699. It was 99% with box and papers. 4" barrel. The 2nd I paid $250 for 2.5' barrel in 90% condition no box. Big range in price. Both I feel great about..

I think its a fair price for a private sale (no tax etc) if your looking for a 19-5 and its clean.
Dont forget that the dash 5 revision is the first version that doe not have a
pinned barrel or recessed cylinders.
The dash 4 guns were P&R until the end of the run when S&W dropped the barrel pin.
IMO the dash 5 is a fine shooter but slightly less valuable than a P&R dash 4 or older Model....again all just IMO.
