What should I ask for my Smith and Wesson small-frame 22 revolvers?

Hi all,
I'm not really a pistol guy, but my spouse (the pistol shooter) is terminally ill and we have decided to sell off "her" handguns. They are registered to me for convenience, and I know what we paid for them when purchased, but I've no idea what they would/should go for today. I have never seen any of either model up for sale anywhere in Canada since we purchased them, and those I've seen for sale state-side have (what seems to me) ridiculously steep price tags. What would be fair retail as used items here in Canada?

1. S&W Model 63-4 5-inch barrel stainless 8-shot J-frame 22LR revolver with target sights. Manufactured in 1990. Excellent condition throughout. Very accurate.
2. S&W Model of 1953 22/32 Target 6-inch barrel 22LR 6-shot modified I-frame revolver (similar to the J-frame Model 35), all matching numbers including the original stocks, pinned and recessed, target trigger, hammer, and sights. Manufactured in 1956. Excellent +++ (collector condition) throughout. Comes with a period-correct set of S&W target stocks and 3 speed-loaders. Very accurate.

Thanks in advance,
Islandguy

I just sold my 63-4 the weekend before they announced the bans. Same as yours, a friend really wanted it (box and papers included) and I let him have it for $850. I thought that was a fair buddy price. I can't speak to the other one, not really familiar with them.
