So my dad had a few prohibited handguns he wants to sell since he could never give them to me. Knowing that there is limited market for prohibs what should I expect in terms of value.

Blue LFrame 4inch in 357
Blue kFrame 22 (guessing it has a 4inch barrel)
Model 66 3inch in 38
Browning 1932?? 3inch in 32
Blue model 13 4inch 357
Blue smith 4inch in 9mm
Any help would be much appreciated
Not looking to sell just curious of value. Also there in average shape
 
No I haven't I figured anything price wise would be skewd in canada because of the limited market for them
Is it in cnd prices?
 
Intresting I will have to look into that thanks for the info. Back to my original question what are these guns worth and what can expect to get if we decide to sell
 
recommend to your father that he save at least one prohib so that he retains his 12(6) status. That would allow you to buy through him pre 1945 12(6) guns. In other words he can continue to buy prohibs and as long as they are pre 1945 they can be transferred as war trophies between husband and wife, brother - sister, and parents - children

The L frame I am assuming is a S&W 586 $4-500
The K frame 22 I assume is a S&W 17 $5-600
The model 66 only came in a .357, so I'm assuming you have a model 67 $3-400
Model 13 $3-400
Sorry, but can't help you with the Browning or 9mm Smith. Need more info.
 
Wow thanks for the info I want expecting that
As for the browning and smith I did a little google search and found what looks like it

I refer to this on as the gun James Bond would us if he used browning lol


The smith I would assume it's the better one out of everything

Yes I think that was the planning to keep a few he does still like to shoot them after all
And sorry for my ignorance I'm not really a hand gun guy more into rifles and shotguns
 
The picture of the Browning seems to be of a Model 1907, or possible the Swedish military pistol that was a variation of that model Browning. Be advised that there are Colt pistols (Models of 1903 and 1908 "hammerless") that appear similar and are much more common. You're correct in assuming that their "prohibited" status limits their value in Canada. Instead of looking at GunBroker, which is American, look at some of the sites for Canadian gun sellers, to see what kind of prices they're expecting to get for similar pistols. But you really need to be sure what you have. And also, know that condition means a lot. If they look used, they'll bring in less than a gun that appears unused or very well cared for.

The picture of the Smith & Wesson is of a Model 59, a high capacity magazine gun. If it is that gun, it legally needs to have a magazine that has been limited to ten rounds. The Smith Model 39 and its variations, which are similar in appearance, but older models than the 59, has a curved grip backstrap, usually wood grips, a 4" barrel and a magazine capacity of less than ten rounds. Again, condition means a great deal in terms of value.

If you could post pictures of the guns it would help in trying to place a value on them. If the Smith is a Model 59, then probably $300 to $400, depending on appearance and function. The other gun is probably about the same. Take a look at the registration certificates. The guns should be identified there.

If you want to PM me with pictures, I'd be glad to help out more with them.
 
Sweet thanks I will do that soonish. The conversation I had with my dad about it was lets get rid of them but he doesn't wanna give them away kinda thing this has been so much help in letting me know what I should expect when it comes time to sell them. I will send you a pm when I get the pics. And yeah I guess I'm in the handgun club now lol
