How much to pay for a S&W 29 .44 mag?

[mr00jimbo]

My neighbor has one I think in pretty good shape and he's toying with selling it...he's old and doesn't know how much it's worth. How much would one be? I'm not looking for a .44 mag or anything but if i could get a good deal (i.e cheap ) i'd jump on it, but providing I tell him how much it's truely worth while I give him my offer.

Color? Age?

I've never seen it, I was hoping there would be a very rough ballpark, but I would say 20-25 years old and black

Between $50 and $1000.

Seriously, you'll have to provide a lot more info to get an accurate value estimate.

IF you can post a pic that would help. Posible round count. Kind of shape and condition, barrel length, grips (wood or aftermarket)

I bought an odd ball S&W 29 with a 10 5/8" barrel for $400.

I bought a Ruger mark II .22, a S&W 586 357, and a Model 29-2. The Ruger and 586 were in good condition
with a little blueing rubbed off the muzzle end of the barrel (holster wear). The 29-2 came in a wood case,
cyclinder was not turned much, only had a couple of boxes of shell through it. I knew the original owner who died.
The person selling his guns kept the 44. He later had to sell all his guns so I got his three handguns for $600.

Now with pictures. Picture quality is not the greatest though.

Let me get this straight, you got a 586 and a 29-2 plus the mark II for 600!!!

B@#$@#$D, where are those deals when I'm around. Thats like buying one of the revolvers and getting the other two free!! Smokin' deal, and I can't decide whether your my hero or I hate you,

Actually I though of it as buying two guns and getting the 44 Magnum for free. This kind of deal only comes up every couple of years for me.

Previously a S&W model 10, a model 14, and a model 19 - 2 1/2". About 1200 rounds of reloads, scale, Star reloading press, a couple of sacks of 38 brass, holsters, bunch of other stuff, all for $400.

Then a few years before that a PPC S&W 586, an IPSC marked S&W 745, a S&W model 14, a Star (I think) 1911 pattern in 38 Super, a S&W model 66, Lee progressive press, scale, holsters, lots of brass, and thrown in a 36 calibre black powder cap and ball revolver, all for $900.

The two above was the asking price. No way was I going to start to dicker.
