Apparently it was.

It's a beaut!!! Yeah I would have to say it was worth the price!

Yeah that looks about $600 dollars to me. Classy old gun, plus Nickel plating. Go for it and you won't look back, believe me.

Where is it at?

Well it's going to be in the OPs collection soon enough

Not recessed. But yeah I’d say worth $600.

Nope
Only .22s and older Magnums are "recessed."

A buddy has its twin; may try to talk him out of it one of these days.

Yep

Yes indeed.
You need a good BBQ gun!
(I do too!)

Nice!

Love those nickel plated J frames. It would pair nicely with my Model 49 no dash. I bought it from an FBI agent friend several years ago, it is in similar shape .



Stay safe.

Square butt is a plus in my book too.
Very nice Jeff. Id say 6 is reasonable for that one.

Yes, definitely worth the $600.

Absolutely!

I also like the Square Butt. Nice revolver and yes it looks like $600 was a good deal.

Is it worth $600? You're asking the wrong guy.

I sold my blue model 60 in excellent shape for $25 in the early 1990's because there is a minuscule private market for handguns in NYC and my agency was one of the last to transition to Glocks and nobody in LE seemed to want a revolver at that point..

Finally found a probation officer who was willing to take it off my hands. Great gun though, regret selling it, if you buy it I'm sure you'll be happy.

That’s a nickel 36 and not a highly polished 60, correct?
Either way, I think it’s worth $600, especially if it has the box.

The feds must’ve liked those nickel 49s. I’ve got one just like that I bought from a guy who got it from an NCIS agent.

Offer $500...

$600 ?

Not to me. I’ve got a plethora of small revolvers.
Latest was a Taurus Model 856. Matte Stainless... after discount cards, $20 coupon, I’ve got about $175 in it.
It’s a dream shooter with wadcutters.

I’m flush with S&W’s so I’d pass.
Probably a great deal to a Smith collector.

It’s a nice clean Model 36. All the firing soot has been polished off of it.
My M-19 I carried as a Police Officer typically looked like that. As a rookie I couldn’t afford even to shoot reloads for a while, so I’d dry fire and polish a while!

Think of it as simply "holding $600 for you." If you later decide you need the money back, you could get it.
