Had great fun at the auction. I was able to study the revolver closely. It looked really good. Finish was excellent with few exceptions. Small amount of tarnish between two flutes and on ejector rod. Bore was a bit dirty, cylinders looked better than inside muzzle. Grips were beautiful. Presentation case was very nice with a few scratches. Bidding started at $350 and there were 4 bidders in a room of 100 people that were there for comic books and furniture. $450-500-550, now 2 bidders. Me and the guy in front of me. $25 per bid. Up, Up, Up. Done. Sold. Me. $775 but wait... and I knew about all of this in advance: Add 10% auction fee. Add 7% tax and add $25 FFL transfer fee. Total $919. You guys were spot on in your value estimate. I'm happy. And while I was there I bought a German Model 98 Mauser in just as good shape as the S&W. Here are a few pictures. Thanks again.

Nice looking 57. Don't worry about the price. It's reasonable and you'll be glad you have the gun long after you've forgotten about the amount spent.
