Model 51 Price Check

[Cruiser1]

Trying to help out a family member and did not see a good comp on GB. My uncle was an ATF agent in the 60-70's and passed last week and left a mint Model 51, no dash, 22Mag revolver. Nickel, I think 5" barrel? No box. What's a fair market value currently? I did not get a pic; unfortunately. Thanks

Had a 4" years ago, but did not know they came in 5".
Todays market value, not a clue.

Might have been 4"; it's a nice piece.

I wonder what motivated Smith to make the M51 WRM and M43 Airweight with 3 1/2" barrels instead of the usual M34 4".

SCSW says nickel plated .22 magnums are worth a good bit extra.

Agree, with the provision that it is original finish.

That would be one heck of an addition to the old Kit Gun collection. I've never seen a nickel 51.

 

[Cruiser1]

Yes ; it would. I have a nickel, 4" .22lr Kit Gun

Here is my 2" nickel.
