hey guys
i know its a dumb question without further info, but thats all i have for now

colt .38 magnum special , short barrel 1st issue (i think) (seen only pics, definitely not 3rd tho)

fired max 10 times

whats the price for such a revolver now ?! of course the round figure with such info i know

thanks

In excellent/like new shape, probably from $400 and up without knowing the model or anything like that.

If you post pics you'll get a very accurate history and value of the gun. Just with the information you gave we really can't have any idea which Colt you have.

well i have these pics, but are not clear at all, so i didn't upload

but will try to get clearer photos soon

A brief pointer... .38 special... .357 magnum... no .38 magnum specials.
Just FYI.

Value? Need more input. You selling or buying? Blue or nickel? Detective Special, or a Colt 357? A blue almost virginal snub nose Colt... $375 up to $500? Nickel, (in good condition) add another $80-100. If it's a Diamondback or Python, add at least another $800.
Lawman, Agent, Cobra... sorta depends on what it is, really.

As PotatoJudge said... photos will narrow vague answers

[edited to add. ahhh a nickel Detective Special... If I was selling it, I'd start asking $500. If I was buying, I'd start offering $300]

well i'll check for my self soon, and get back to you guys, and thanks for the info

and yeah i was kinda surprised by the ".38 magnum special" but i'm not expert besides i was exactly copying what i was told till i see for my self, but yeah good point!!!

Try to get the serial number too so we can give you an approximate date the gun was made.

The illustrated gun sure looks like a Colt Detective Special, .38 Special ONLY, no magnums allowed. Some people won't even shoot .38 Special +P in them but I would if somebody was shooting at me and I was carrying it for self defense.

actually the one who told me the info is my friend, she doesn't know much about guns, i asked her about the serial , she said she couldn't find any:confused:

anyway she'll ask her father (the owner) tomoro, or i'll go check it for my self soon

and they asked me what its worth now, they want to sell
