6" or 8-3/8"? Any target options (i.e. TT, TH, TS)? Serial matching box, docs, tool kit?
OP
6" no box or other extras, just the gun. It has target sights and looks like a trigger stop? The blue appears to be original and the line around the cylinder is very faint. Assuming the grips are not original either?
Original grips would be checkered walnut magnas with medallions. Just the gun with standard appointments, minus the original grips, box, and docs, in the condition you describe, I'd say $600 on the low end, and $750 on the high end.
OP
The price tag shows that this is a very good deal if all the mechanics check out. I'd buy it at that price, even though I am not in the market for one. You will never lose money on that one at that price!
OP
thanks, I felt like it was a good deal
That would be a go for me at the listed price
of $440.00.

The grips look like John Hurst grips. The late John Hurst was an LAPD academy firearms instructor and Olympic pistol shooter. I just bought a nickel pre-27 with some strange grips on it. Our fellow S&W Forum folks educated me on John Hurst, thankfully.

I haven't seen a nice Model 14 at that price in years. I paid $750 for the last one. Buy it.

For $440, I'd be all over that like a duck on a June bug.
Where did you say that model 14 was located? 
I hope you own the gun by now. That is a heck of a good price for a Model 14-4, considering the right side looks as good as the left side. You best grab it before someone else does.
OP
They don't do Sat. gun sales. I called and they are holding it for me.
Thanks for your opinions, they really do help.

The grips look like Herretts so not original to the gun . If the gun looks as nice in person as it does in the picture I would say that $440 is a great price original grips or not.
If you're interested in a nice Model 14 I wouldn't hesitate too long on that one.

Those grips sure look like Herrett's to me, as well. If that revolver is as nice in person as it looks in the picture, that's a darn good price and one I'd like to own. Show us some more detailed pictures if you bring that great Christmas present home.

Buy at the listed price or try to wiggle them down - but that is a buy now for sure.
OP
It really was clean and tight. The one pic doesn't do it justice. It'll be Monday evening, but I will post pics when I get it.
I believe your right about the grips being Herrett's. A quick search brought up the exact pair.
thanks for the interest

If that number is 85Kxxxx, then it dates to 1980. I'm not sure I'm reading it correctly.
