Victory Value

[Ruzneb]

I'm selling my Victory and need help in determining a fair selling price. I looked on Gunbroker and saw some pretty awful examples with starting bids of 600 or so. Mine is marked U.S Property G.H.D. It has a 4 inch barrel, all numbers match-barrel, frame and cylinder- and is chambered for 38 Special. Ser no is 359060. The overall condition is excellent with very little edge wear,very faint drag lines. It appears that it was rarely used. I would prefer selling to a fellow forum member rather than going on Gunbroker.

It sounds like a standard military-shipped US Victory specimen. Stocks matching too? Nice examples of those are fairly common, so condition is everything. A like-new unissued gun, all-matching, could bring 500 - 600, but you might have to wait a while. Some months ago I was (literally) shocked to see a quite nice Maritime Commssion Victory with letter go for under 350 on Gunbroker. I'd have jumped in if I had realized in time how little interest there was.

Good pictures are everything, especially if you want to sell it here. Realistically, someone might bite in the 400-plus range if it looks good.

Victory info

Thanks Absalom. The stocks are NOS and are unnumbered. I bought it with plastic horn stocks and purchased the NOS ones from a S&W collector in CA. If I can figure out how to do it, I will post pictures.
