I might be buying a Smith and Wesson 66-2 from a friend. I need some guidance on a fair price, so looking for value range. Gun is engraved (laser etched?) with-
LAW ENFORCEMENT HERO'S MEMORAL
S & W 357 MAGNUM
1986 LIMITED EDITION
and stamped "FOP" on frame. It is new, in presentation case. I am NOT interested in this as a collector piece. It will be shot, and shot often. I guess the values I am looking for are -
1) As a LNIB shooter
2) collector piece
I figure I can find a very clean used piece for @ $350, so what if any premium should I fairly attach to a "soon to be used", very clean 66-2?
If it is worth a chunk more as collector, I'll have him put it on gunbroker or S&W forum.
Thanks!
