Wow, that 52 is a beauty... the -2 is mkre sought after (for a shooter, maintenance point of view)
With the box, I'd guess probably close to $1,800

Can't help a lot with values as I tend to follow the S&W revolvers more than their pistols. I can say the Model 41 is 1973-74 production. Older automatics started with serial 1001 in 1954 and ended in 1970 with serial 115000 so I'd guess the model 52 is late 60's vintage. This info from my Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson 3rd edition.

That's a lovely looking 52 and should command strong dollars especially if your friend has the original box, papers etc.
