model 29 5inch

[wildman1967]

I have a model 29 5 inch 44 mag. commonly referred to as a hill country gun.The gun is in 98-99% condition was wondering if any one could tell me what it might be worth, with box and all paper work ?

There have been several 5" model 29s produced, so photos would help. A recent production gun may be $750 and one from the '50s - '60s may be $3000+ with the original box and contents.

Edit to add: if this is the same gun on which you posted in 5/2013 )), it is probably worth $1200 or so in the current market, perhaps higher to someone filling a specific spot in their .44 collection.

[bronco45]

Of the 29 classic I haven't a clue. On the Pre 29 a partial is:S1778XX.

My notes say S&W made 500 of these p.c. 101249 M29-4's in this configuration with the unfluted cylinder.

 

[wildman1967]

Kernel that was what, I have been told before. What do your notes say about the value of this handgun in this condition say ?

 

[wildman1967]

Does anyone have any idea what my guns value would be in today's market ?

If the condition is LNIB, I believe it is worth $1100 to $1250. If 98% drop it to $850.
