What's it worth? S and W x2, Hopkins and Allen and a Ruger Mk. II Target...

[Dark Alley Dan]

Howdy, hivemind. I hope you can help me with this.

My Dad has come into possession of three handguns and they need to go on to a new home, but I'm unsure regarding prices. Let's start here:

1) S&W Model 10-8, heavy barrel, made some time after 1977.

Very nice condition. Not shot much, good tight crane-to-frame relationship. Some slight wear at the muzzle. Prohib, regrettably...

++++++++++++++++++++++++++

2) Ruger Mk. II Target model, c. 1984 production.

Adjustable sights, restricted-length bull barrel, excellent condition. 1 mag, very nice condition for a brand new gun, much less one that's 36 years old...

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

3) Hopkins and Allen .32 XL Double Action

No rust, but lockup is nil. The bolt doesn't reach the cylinder. Is it repairable? Beats me, I'm no expert in the breed, but it wasn't much of a gun new and she ain't any better now...

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The two Smiths are the most interesting of the bunch, the poor sad little H&A the least - it'd make a fine paperweight were it legal to keep out on one's desk - but I think the Ruger's a nice piece.

So what would you suggest re: pricing?

Thanks for taking time to look,

Dan

The 10-8 is 12-6? That doesn't help value, but might bring $300.
The altered M&P maybe $250.
The Ruger could go $300.
The little H&A might be a good tinkering project, doesn't look bad, but $50 might be generous, $25 more likely.

 

[Dark Alley Dan]

Thanks, mate - I appreciate the input.

I measured and remeasured the 10-8, hoping for a miracle. No luck. 104mm and no more. Silly Goddamn law.

The 10-8 would sell at $250.

The modified 38Spl is about $200.

The H&R is worth about $25.

A little bit ago some one had a WTB for one of those HB model 10's ( or was it a 18?)I think for some reason in the pistol section.
Nice gun, but too short , or too long depending, , The H&R would be worth welding , If you are licenced to do it, they kept change the damn rules on that.
300 for the ruger sound right.

 

[Al-Sway]

The British Proof marks say .38 Special, but barrel stamping says .38S&W. You might want to check which is it.

Rechambered.

I might be interested in that M&P.

Id give the MKII a $400 tag to be honest, I see them sell for that often ...best gen of the MK series.

 

[marshall]

Yes should be worth that, I see 300 asking prices for MK1's

 

[maxman1]

If you're looking to sell the M&P now, I'll take it.

 

[tiriaq]

I might be interested in that M&P.

If you're looking to sell the M&P now, I'll take it.

The least you could do is to send a PM, rather than trying to do business outside the EE.
