Looking at two English proof marked S&W's @ my LGS. Both have been converted to 45 Colt. A description of the Triplelock is first; barrel original; cylinder appears to be a replacement and is bored straght through. Ejection rod is bent and the knob has been ground down. Grips are not correct ( magna's from the 60's and have been worked on). Bore is a 7 on a 10 scale. Overall condition is 60%. To me this is a parts gun whose value is about $450 to $500.
The 2nd. Model also has the cylinder bored straight thru to 45 Colt and possibly is a replacement. Barrel is original. Grips are correct. Bore is a 5 on a 10 scale. Overall condition is 60%.
To me it is questionable to buy these to fire but to buy them only as parts guns. Put the same $450 to $500 value on the 2 nd model.
