Walked Away From model 10 (no dash)

[ralph7]

My buddy prices his Smiths pretty high because he really doesn't want to sell them but use them to attract someone that has a Smith for sale.
SWCA 892

Wonder about the people he attracts with his over priced guns wanting stupid money for theirs after they see his prices?

I know him quite well. His guns are not priced that badly at all.

I don't look at the numbers so much as price...It's more of a judgement in value...To each, his own......Ben

Everyone complains about gunbroker's high prices, with good reason, but occasionally a good deal can be found.

There are a lot of M10's out there and they can be found for a reasonable price. While not as old as some, the condition on this one is excellent, and the price was reasonable. Only 5 months ago.

My first Smith, over 40 years ago, was a MDL 10 4" HB police trade-in. No cylinder ring, no holster wear, paid $100 for it at a hardware store. I sold it for $200 about 20 years ago. Needed the money. I should have kept it.

I have a 5 screw 4 in. gun 1954-56 I bought about a year ago at an estate auction for $400. I think I got a bargain. I don't know what it's worth but I had rather have it than $400.
I have another one 1948-51 that I had for 50 some years. I probably paid about $40 for it. Larry

You still did extremely well, even for that timeframe

Thanks Roger, I did even better than I thought. I checked my records. The armslist asking price was $399, met locally and settled on $360. I feel kinda bad in retrospect. It did not come with the box.

Here is the only Model 10 (no dash) I own. I acquired it in March of 1917 and paid way too much at $408.00. Here are a few pictures to include the pertinent page from the Letter.

I'm not a big fan of the 2" square butt, but even I would've bought that one. Great provenance!

I rarely buy anything off a table at gun shows. I go to see what comes in the door...

I don't take guns to shows anymore. I tired of being accosted every 40 seconds..."what's in the bag?" over and over.
