A touch high but not outrageous at all. About 15 years ago I decided I wanted to give one another try ( previously owned a 2” square butt with major accuracy issues and the later a 4” round butt I just didn’t warm up to. It took me about 7 years to finally find a nickel square butt 2” for under $600 that is one of my favorite guns. So roughly $600 abut 8 years ago for mine
I think it's a good choice at a fair price.
I use my Model 63 as the first gun fro newbies to shoot. The triggers aren't as nice as the K frames, but the weight and overall size are very manageable for even the smallest shooters.
I think you should go for it.

If that's the condition, to me, that seems a fair price.
The smooth target stocks make it an even better buy. I would buy it at that price if I didn’t already have a 34-1.

Any J-frame is a difficult revolver for unskilled shooters to shoot well; often difficult to the point of discouragement. They look neat and they are fun to shoot but far from the best revolver to learn with unless the shooter practices a lot and has the necessary discipline needed to become proficient. I'd get a K-frame revolver for beginners as they are much easier to shoot well. J-frames should come later. I'm not up on prices, but K-frame guns might be cheaper than J-frames.
My young Granddaughters both learned shooting with the Mod 34 and 63. They became proficient at 10 yards to keep most in the black at age 12-14.

I agree. That condition with the smooth target stocks make it a very fair price.
Beautiful gun. Here in Oklahoma, that one would bring well over $1,000. Any model 63 with pinned barrel will.
Always a good buy.
If in good condition $750 is fair. They are rare and hard to find.
