I made my rounds of the local pawn shops today. I didn’t find anything I was looking for but there were a couple of interesting finds. Since I only look for S&W revolvers prior to the 1980’s, I would like to know if these are good prices.
First is a used 9mm S&W Model 439. Blued with one mag. Looks like it spent its entire life in someone’s sock drawer. Unknown if it’s in the recall serial number range. Asking $370. That seems like a good price based on the outrages prices on Gunbroker.
Second is a S&W Model 60 labeled as 38 Special. NIB w/ the IL and sleeved (Two piece) barrel tagged for $700 and marked down to $650. S&W website lists it as a 357 Magnum, not 38 Special, with an MSRP of $799. This seems like a good price, but I have no idea what they actually sell for. Gunbroker listings range from $675 to full MSRP with no bids so that wasn’t any help.
Any guidance on current values would be appreciated.
