A picture would sure help us as well as a Partial Serial number, I am assuming it starts with Axxxxxx. Also, condition is everything. Prices can vary quite a bit from 90% condition, to 95%, to 98%, etc.
Lots of great folks here to help though!

There are several currently listed on gunbroker.com. If you take the time to "join" (it's free), you can go back a couple of months in the archives. It's the selling price that counts otmthe listing price, and gunbroker prices are probably a littleon the high side. For sure, a gunshop or pawnshop would give you about half of the current market value. Some shops will sell your pistol on consignment for a 20% (or whatever) cut.

Your father's pistol? I'd think long and hard before I would let it go. You may regret it later. Just my opinion.

PS You shouldn't sell Dad's gun.

Not that you should sell it but listing in this forum classified will likely provide quick results. The current Blue Book is around $700 but there are regional variations and prices are going up.
