S&W 53 value

[jjohnl]

Hey Guys, tried the search function but no joy. Anyways, what would a 6" model 53 with a 22lr spare cylinder in minty condition ( 95%+) be worth? Thanks

A little more info will help, do you have the box? Is this a M53 no dash or what dash?. Original grips?

This is the photo the guy sent me. Not sure about dash? Thanks

Actually both are for sale. I'm interested in the one on the left. Seller said one on left fired only a few times, one on the right has not been fired. Seller says he paid $2500 for both guns ten years ago? I was thinking about $800 for the spare cylinder model. But what do I know. Thanks

I have one similar. That one looks not to have been shot, or at least very little. Considering it has the extra clyinder I am going to guess $900? I havent seen one besides my own in years or been to a gun show with one, nor have I been watching them on auction. Mine is only a uneducated guess!
If he paid $2,500 for both 10 years ago, I want his adress! I have stuff he might be interested in! Keep him covered up, I dont want him catching a cold!
Hey! Whats the story with the extra hammer and trigger?

I don't think I've seen one in the box with the extra cylinder for less than $1000. Heck, the extra cylinder can sale for $300 to $400. Between the two I'd definately try to get the one on the left. Good luck.

+1 on what he said

Well the seller just corrected me. He wants $2500 for it, and its unfired. I replied.. good luck with your sale. I'm on to greener pastures. Still would like to know the real world value though.

I just sold a 4 screw MD 53 6", with extra cylinder, numbered to the gun. In it's box with inserts and all original paper, unfired for $1250.00.
I just sold another MD 53, 8 3/8 Nickel, done at the plant, no box for $1200.00. I needed cash to pay for repairs to my cellar after a flood.
