Purchased this probably 6 years ago for a song. The seller and I both knew I got it for a deal so I have no clue what it's really worth today. Bought it for the ex and she decided to become the ex so it's mostly just sat over the remaining time. I'd like to raise some funds and pass it on to someone that can appreciate it and use it rather than let it sit like it does now.
Problem is I have no clue of it's value.
It is a JC Higgins Model 88 snub .22 revolver. Rebadged High Standard. I believe these were sold through Sears?
Excellent shape mechanically. Locks up tight as can be and fires every time.
Finish is decidedly worn. Has some holster wear and if the aluminum frame was blued/anodized/whatever it isn't now. I can see hints of a black color on parts of the frame and trigger guard but most of it is worn shiney. The barrel, hammer, trigger, and cylinder are still blued but show considerable wear. It was someone's tool box, glove box, or tackle box gun and lived a life of use with care. Works great, but not pretty.
Has a 1 piece boot grip style plastic grip that is in good shape.
Comes with what is marked a Lefty Lewis Custom Maker belt holster. I believe it is either the forerunner of or the same as these Bell Charter Oak Co-Pilot holsters:

The holster isn't meant for this gun but it fits and retains it well. I thought about keeping it but my J frame slides right out of it. Someone must have fit the holster to the 88.
So what's a realistic price on this gun and holster?
