Colt .22 mag Frontier Scout nickel plated

[newenglander]

Hello: I'm new to this forum. I have a Colt .22 Frontier Scout Nickel plated with the extra magnum cylinder ser#377XX K that I bought new in Utah in 1968 for around $100. I never realized until now that the regular model was a cast aluminum. Would this also be true of the nickel plated model? Unfortunately I lost the box long ago, but the revolver is in excellent condition. Any idea of the value? Thank you...John

I think it is aluminum, regardless of finish.
If there is any doubt, see if a pocket magnet will stick to the frame.

If it is in real nice condition, I would imagine it would sell in the $400 - $500 range. More if you still had the box.

Thank you, RC. Why didn't I think of that? The barrel, hammer, and cylinders are steel. The rest is aluminum.

That would be about right!
