Well I know the 36 sells for about 400 without anything and the model 10 would probably go about the same I think ill offer one of them and 200 cash and see what he says
UPDATE: How'd I Do

You paid top dollar for what looks like top quality based on the photos assuming that the 15 and the 28 are what they appear to be-later guns. Certainly not a "deal" in my book at least. If the 19 and 28 are indeed 4 screw no dash variations-then yes, you did well.
Sorry but you asked.
Sorry but you asked.
Average of 5 bills apiece....fair enough. Nice to get the boxes and all! I'd say you are money ahead if you sell....
You said the 1917 was in excellent condition. But, the question remains is that original finish or refinish. A refinished gun can look fabulous but not have much collector value. $1K is not top dollar for an original excellent condition 1917 Commercial. However, your seller appears to be savvy about his guns and doesn't seem to be discounting them. You have to ask if the 1917 is all it is made out to be, why is he offering it to me at such a price?

There isn't a 15 in the deal
It's your guns and your money. Could be you come out smelling like a rose.

My $0.02.
Do you plan to shoot the 38/357s you bought? If so, you have some great guns for shooting.
Do you go to bed at night writhing in pain because you do not have a 1917? If the answer to that question is "no" then you ought to keep the 38/357s you already have. At least that is how I would proceed with the decision. But, as I have oft stated, I have exorcised the collector ghost out of my parlor.

He just sold you the two snubbies, why would he want to take one of them them back in trade for the 1917?

He's just wanting to get rid of some guns he offered the 1917 up for 3k total I'm sure he'd sell it instead of one of the snubs to get more money
Please update us what the final deal was
Ok Friday is almost here and I'm wondering if you are going to update us all with the finally tally?
Boxes will all goodies?
No dash guns with incorrect grips?
Did he take the trade for the 1917?
All will be awaiting photo's for sure.
Good luck!!!

For all practical purposes, yes. There's supposedly some factory nickel ones out there, but they are as rare as hen's teeth.

I actually like the flat blue look its a change for me. Most guns i have are a deep rich s&w blue or nickel or stainless except for one victory model.
