S&W Model 63 Kit Gun

[BC Mike]

I'm trying to put a value on this S&W Model 63 prohib in .22long. It appears to be factory engraved which I understand was an option at least for the early 63's. This is a no dash from 1977 and is NIB or close enough not to be able to tell. Any help in determining value is appreciated. Only have this one picture.

Thanks,
Mike

Nice!

I recently bought a plain 63 for $400. It is used/good condition and for a change, is a wonderful shooter. I have had several others that were less accurate, and have had generally bad luck with them.

It has a limited audience in Canada, and I believe it can't go home to the USA as-is, BATF doesn't give it enough "points". It would be worth more in the USA. Here, it would be $500 or $600 ... Now, a 2" round butt with all these features would be really, really popular.

That engraved Model 63 above is sweet. Problem being a 12(6) prohib is it will never realize it's true worth up here.

I got my plain non engraved Model 63 for $250. [It does have some scratches on the underside of the trigger guard, though].

To me, the engraving should command a bit of a premium, but again it's still a 12(6).

Hard to put a value on it since the whole 12(6) thing has skewed prices downwards on this side of the border.
