I stumbled across a Colt New Service in 38 Special today. What makes it interesting is that it has the rare 4 inch barrel. It's all original with about 80-85% finish. The timing is a little off if you cock it real slow. No problems with it if you cock it fast or cycle it double action. The cylinder gap looked good and it locked up real tight when the trigger is pulled.
Do any of you have any idea what it would be worth? They are asking $499 which seems a bit high to me because of the timing problem; or is it worth that much because of the 4 inch barrel? I sold a New Service (M1917) in 45 ACP a few years ago for $400 that was in better condition. Thanks for your input.
