Although I'm familiar with some of these guns, it's really very difficult to assign values without examining the gun. Appearance counts for a lot, and there's always the question of how well any gun functions. At the very least I'd need a bunch of pictures. If you want to send me email (david.meyer@eastlink.ca) with lots of photos showing the outsides and insides of any of these guns, I'd be happy to comment. The guns I could comment on are 7., 12., 13., 14., 15., 20., 22., 24., 27., and 33. But it doesn't really sound like a realistic project. and you could probably do as well by consulting the published guide of handgun prices or by looking at various dealers prices on line, and save yourself some money (doing appraisals where sales are going to result usually involves a fee). You've got a pretty big job to do, with many "prohibited" guns. Good luck with it, however you decide to go.
 
hmmm...........looks like you found my stash................
I just have to go check a couple places.....be back later........
 
All of them are completely worthless.
Send them all to me right away, and I'll dispose of them for you.

Seriously though, that's a pretty neat collection.
Unfortunately, many of them are on the banned list so not that many people will be able to bid on them.
 
gun values

Very hard to value anything with out seeing it, but my ideas,
BTW , when you say restored in the gun business, that usally means
reblued and that always is not good on collector guns, on shooters,
depends on the quality of the work.
1 know idea, 2 2.5" barrel, cut?? if orignal 200-300, 3- 400.
4 350.oo, 5- 300.oo, 6- 200.oo, 7- 100-150.oo, 8- ? 150.oo
9-??????800-1000.oo, 10- not a victory in that cal. 150.oo
11, see 9, these have to be checked for a price, depends who replued- Factory?= than 1500.00
12- reblued? 200.oo???^/, 13-50-100.oo, mag is 50.oo; 14- 1000^, 15- 6-700.oo , complete w shoulder stocks?
many times these are missing
16-? 3-600.oo?; 17- 300.oo with mags, depends on type of barrel, and if factory ordignal, I am guess it has conversion kit
on it, supermatic citation would have came with 22lr barrel and slide.
18-150.oo; 19- 4-500.oo? 20-? 500.oo?, depends on the numbers, marks.
21- ? 500.oo, 22- Reblued?? 150.-300.oo ; 23 ? 400.oo ( I am not up on newer S-W)
24- 200.oo; 25- 50-75?; 26- ?Condition? 100.oo; 27- Mag? 100/150.oo
28- ? 250.oo; 29- 2200/250.oo; 30- 300-400.oo; 31- 150.-200.oo; 32 -250./3?
32 ? 25-50.oo, depends if it is shootable.

Hope this helps you a bit, these are retail per piece guesses on my part with out knowing
what you have , lot price would be another matter
Quite a bit of this will be 12-6 class

Thanks marshall. The 2 colt SAA's are both prohib due to caliber (32-20) And I doubt the reblue jobs were done at the factory. I've had a couple people suggest that due to their 12/6 status they're likely only worth in the $250-500 range despite being very nice guns....

Disagree... Colt SAA's are highly collectable... Think Luger !

The downside is the fact that they were reblued, that said you could get a lot more then $250.00 for the non prohib parts alone i.e. grips etc. Me thinks someone is trying to get a deal ;o)

As well you can get the Colt SAA's serial number and call 1-800-962-COLT. The phone service is available for first generation SAA's up to the 343,000 serial number range and the fee is $150 which includes the letter of in two to three weeks. Colt has very good records on these guns, if they happened to been sold to someone notable or a notable group, then $$$, even with the re-blue !!
 
Colt Banker's .22 (#3?), like all of these, depends on condition. Poor = $400, good = $500+, VG=$650 and excellent $800+ prohib or not. Highly collectable too.

You will get less as a "collection" than you will individually, even if you give some away. Agreed on the .32-20: At auction, these fetch well over $1000 in average shape.

The bankers special is virtually new condition. It may be unfired.
