"$700-800 if you want it to move. - dan".... I agree. See ARMCO ad and EPPS ad for comparison. As mentioned before 'Original box and accessories (cleaning rod, screwdriver, instructions, etc.) will add to the price.' Good luck
 
You should listen when you ask for advice.

I have two of them with all the barrels and would be hard pressed to put $1100.00 asking price on it with three barrels.

Yours to put a asking price on but as mentioned by other posters you have a $700.00 - $800.00 gun at best with the extra mags.

$1100 for a gun that is not a A-series or earlier. Good luck.

Hard to say. While a lot of used gun market's are down a little, the 41 does seem to hold on to it's value. 1100 might be optimistic, but it is complete, does have extra mags, and those photos show it to be darn near brand new.

I shoot a 41 once a week at the range. More fun than a barrel of monkeys, and it costs pennies to shoot. While the gun costs more, feeding it costs a lot less.

And we are all aware, even reloading, the gun cost is almost inconsequential in the grand scheme of things. It's always been feeding the beast that adds up.

The person who buys the gun will no doubt already know these things.
 
How does it shoot anyways? Ammo fussy?
It's hard to tell in pictures but it looks like there is wear around the thumb area on the grips which would suggest that maybe it's shot more then 200 rounds...hard to believe someone bought extra mags and then only shot 200 rounds in 25 plus years....unless it was a jam-o-matic with the cheap stuff!
How many rounds have you put through the pistol?

Seems like some 41's are a bit fussy and if I was paying top dollar for a used 41 I'd want some reliability information...

Maybe take it out for a spin with a variety of ammo and see how it shoots? You might just want to keep it in the familly!

Good luck.
 
sorry to hijack your post, but since already here, I figure I'd ask.. I came cross a 7inch model 41, serial number starts with TBZ###x.. what year did this one made in?
