SWAG on worth for of 629-1 Classic

[Rick R]

Anyone care to hazard a guess as to the worth of a 629-1 6" Underlugged Un-fluted Classic Hunter, Hogue Monogrips. This is one that was called a "Classic Hunter" on the box but not anywhere in the gun itself. It's been carried and hunted with a few times but I'd call it 90%.

Hasn't been out of the safe in five years and my eyes have wandered in another direction.

Do you have the box and papers? Tough to estimate without good pictures, but just the gun, wearing Hogue rubber, at 90%, its probably worth around $700.

Found ze box and ze paperz. I bought it twenty plus years ago, surprising what you manage to hang on to over time...

Box & docs will get you in the $850 range if you use elbow grease and Flitz. Be careful not to remove any lazer markings. I have 5 of those full lug, no flute boat anchors that are pleasant to shoot with any 'sensible' load.

This one is so old there aren't any laser markings. I'll give her a gentle massage with Flitz and decide if she's too pretty to part with. It does shoot great with any sensible loading and has the nicest single action trigger of any gun I've ever shot. But the siren call of a semi custom Ruger Bisley in .45 Colt is ringing in my ears. And I'll still have my Mountain Gun.

Thanks for the replies gents.

He who sells a S&W soon regrets his mistake.
