Hey everyone, I searched around a while here before asking, and found a wealth of information, but wanted to see if I could get opinions on valuing a Model 29.
It seems that there are a lot of variables on knowing what one of these guns may be worth. I will be checking the gun out this week some time, and wanted to see if I could get an idea on what a fair price would be.
I've checked gunbroker and some other places, and see similar guns going for around $800 +/-, but wasn't sure if I was missing something or not.
About the gun:
Smith Model 29, nickel plated, 8 3/8" barrel, S/N: N301xxx
Seller says it is in "brand new" condition, and it comes with the original presentation box, however he has a scope mounted on it, so I'm assuming it's been shot a bit, just well cared for I'm hoping.
From my searching, I've put this gun as a 1975-1977. Can't seem to narrow that down any further than that yet.
He's asking $1000. I'm thinking this may be a bit on the high side? What would some of you that know more about these guns say would be a fair price range on something like this?
Thanks.
