Tell him to put a price on it he'd like to have for it. If it doesn't sell, then lower it a bit till it does.

Nice! The 1st .44 magnum I owned was a J.P. Sauer one just like that. That was back in the late 1960's or early 1970's I think.

It was a well made weapon and a great shooter. I ended up trading it even at a gun shop for a S&W 2" RB model 10.

What's it worth? I dunno.

A lot is going to depend on who takes notice. These revolvers are enjoying a mild resurgence; evidenced by folks like USFA introducing .44 Magnum models.
I find it ironic that Ruger, in its infinite wisdom, shrank the Vaquero to a size that can't support the .44 Mag precisely at a time when replica makers are reintroducing .44 Mag models.
