Model 39-2 Question???

[wilshire1412]

Hello Gentlemen, I have seen a few photos of model 39(s) here and it seems that there are a few nickel pistols around. I am curious as to how rare a nickle finish 39-2 is? I have seen one locally for sale that is NIB but it is priced high for one of these IMO, but I am on the far laft coast and things are not easy here.

Less common than the blue version, but not what I call rare. I helped someone I work with pick one up on gunbroker last year for $350 +stamps & dealer fee; so about $400 total. No box, 95%.

Perhaps in a dealer's shop around here (Ohio), I would think NIB could go up to$450-$500, including a $50 (+/-) premium for nickel. Now add your left coast "premium" to that.... $550-$600?
