Hard to say how you did without knowing the condition and whether or not it came with box and papers. Pictures would be great. Just my opinion, but any N frame in shooting condition is probably a good buy at $500.
If you tell us more about condition, the experts here can give you an idea of market prices.

Sn.? If all original, $500 is good for a 90% shooter. No, not even sorta rare
but a great carry/shooter.

Any functioning N Frame is worth right around $500.
Lots of other variables will determine just how well you did... pictures would really help.

Well, if memory serves, they are 54, 55, and 1956. 5 screw I believe. M28 started in 1957. If the diamond magnas are numbered( they are period correct) and there is no rust or pitting, and is mechanically tight, I would say you did OK even without a box.Actually it is fine if the grips are not numbered.
Pictures please

Didn’t know there was a pre 28
You did really good by the sounds.
Diamond targets are worth a good chunk of that price. Heck maybe you really lucked out and they are cokes.

I missed the diamond targets. Some how I was thinking magnas with a diamond. There is a 54 for sale right now on the want to sell forum with diamond targets

Love the "$500 is OK" comments. That gun couldn't be touched around here for less than $850.

I would have bought it, and I don't have any use for one of those with my two 38/44 HDs. (smile)

Recently I saw some primo 28s at a rather small gun show at Aztec, NM
The seller, who I know says he’s having financial problems and is ‘flat broke.’
He tends to be a drama queen, but he was selling guns from his personal collection.
Including 3 - 28s at near 100%.
The best ones I ever saw. Most 28s I have seen were used, LE trade ins, etc.
These almost looked too good!
Almost forgot - he was asking way more than $500!

You may love that, and I hate the what's it worth threads.. just drives the prices higher..
Wasn't that long ago Smiths could be had for far less than these days.
