Anyone know the value of a handgun?  A Smith & Wesson .38 w/ 4-inch barrel about 20 years old?

There are a few models with that description made during that time. Can you give a model number? That would make pricing a lot easier and give you a better idea of the value of your gun.\n Swing the cylinder open and the model number should be stamped on the frame just above the pivot for the cylinder.\n Is it a blued or stainless gun, fixed or adjustable sights? That will change the value also.\n \nMODEL 10 M & P  \n- .38 Spl. +P cal., 6 shot, K-frame, round or square butt (4 in. barrel only starting 1992), fixed sights, 2 (disc. 1996), 3 (disc.), 4 (standard - disc. or heavy), 5 (disc.), or 6 (disc.) in. barrels, current mfg. utilizes Uncle Mike's combat grips, 36 oz.  \n\n\n     100%     98%     95%    90%     80%     70%     60% \n    $420      $285     $215  $165     $130     $115    $100 \n \nAdd $12 for nickel finish (disc. 1991, 4 in. barrel only).  \nThe Model 10 is currently available in 4 in. heavy barrel only (a 4 in. heavy barrel nickel square butt variation was disc. in 1992).\nTo date, there have been 14 engineering changes in this model.

google that.   i.e.\ngo to www.google.com \ntype in value of a 32 winchester special rifle pat date Aug 21 1894?\n\nThen check out the sites.  I do this in regards to many things.  Guns, old wines, novelty name brand items such as oreo, hershey, anchor hocking items ( you used to get cups and stuff out of oatmeal containers way back when ).  I find it very helpful.  I once bought a bottle of 1975 burgundy wine at a garage sale for a dollar, I did a google search and found that particular bottle and type was worth $300!

Bound's hubby here:\n\nBy your description is sounds like you have a Colt "Lightweight" Commander (sometimes called a Combat Commander). I do not know how you arrived at "fair" condition, but by your description this pulls down the value of your pistol. Again, by your description, it sounds like your Colt was made sometime in the 1970's. This vintage will add to the value, however, based on local pricing your Colt may pull $200-$300 but no more than $400 if the future buyer knows anything about pistols. \n\nGood luck.

The Winchester Model 1902 was manufactured between 1902 -1931. \n90%    80%    70%    60%    50%    40%    30%    20%\n$200  $150    $120   $100    $90     $80      $75     $65\n\n\nThe Winchester Model 1892 was manufactured between 1892-1941. Your serial # would indicate 1912 as the year of production.\n\n90%----- 80% ---73%---60%     50%    40%    30%\n$2000   $1500   $1300   $1000   $900   $750    $600\n\n"bferg" must be using an old outdated copy of the Blue Book because all of his values are way under actual current values.\n\n32WCF and 32-20WCF are the same.\n\nAdded\nbferg,\nI've checked my back issues of Blue Book. There has been an upward trend in the value of Model 1892's going back to at least the 18th edition which even then (almost 10 yrs. ago) valued an 80% M-1892 at $1100..........$100 MORE than what your showing the value to be today. To believe the values you have listed, you would have to believe the bottom has fallen out of the vintage Winchester market. That hasn't happened. \n\nWhen valuing guns or anything else for that mater, you need to apply common sense and not just blindly cut and paste numbers off a web site.\n\nIf your getting these values from the "ONLINE VERSION" all I can tell you is that they are just flat out wrong. If I where you, I'd ask for my money back.\n\nBTW, I didn't give you the thumbs down.\n\nMORE\nbferg\nI have been debating about whether to buy the online version for awhile now. This incident is certainly going to cause me to take pause and check out the discrepancies here. I just have a hard time believing a vintage 80% Winchester could drop fully 1/3 of it's value in one year.\n\nLAST EDIT\nbferg\nGlad to hear it was just a small human error. I tip my hat to you for acknowledging the error and not just deleting your post.

your best bet would be to go to gunbroker.com or gunsamerica.com and see what the going prices are for what you are looking for.  Unless you can get your hands on a "Blue book of gun values" but that does not always reflect current trends.

There are a couple of other options: www.auctionarms.com and www.gunbroker.com.  If you already know how much it's worth or how much you want for it, set it up with a reserve price of that amount.  Since it's not a firearm, you should have no problems, but make sure that you list somewhere in the auction terms that the buyer has the responsibility for ensuring the item is legal in their area.

10-20 dollars for a Colt Single Action thru 1900.\n\nWinchester Model 1894 18 dollars thru 1900 (round barrel.. octagon barrels were a couple dollars more)\n\nLess quality firearms could be had for 1.00 and up.\n\nMuzzleloaders were plentiful and cheap and were almost giveaways after metallic cartridges came into being. Many ended as play toys for children.

in very good cosmetic condition, probably $200-$250.\n\nin fair shape, probably $100-$150.\n\nthis is without a scope.\n\nthey were about as popular as bolt action shotguns.\n\nit would be hard to find a buyer, so maybe take $25 off all my above numbers.

Sigh...ask a serious question, get a bunch of pontificating on the evils of inanimate chunks of metal and wood.\n\nFor THE definitive source of gun values, you need to find a book by S.P. Fjestad, entitled "The Blue Book of Gun Values." See the link below for one possible source. This book contains every gun ever made, serial number ranges, and values according to current condition. Most gun shops have one behind the counter; you might - if you ask nice - be able to look through one there.

Best way to find price is to look in The Blue Book Of Gun Values at your local library.  by the way if you really wanna sale it please email me.

If it is a long magazine gallery gun, there is considerable collector interest. Contact a firearms auction company such as \nwww.gregmartinauctons.com   They currently have a large collection viewable on their website. Quite possibly they have one of these currently, I'm not sure.

Check out "Blue Book of Gun Values" by S.P. Fjestad. Link below is one possible source. It's the definitive guide to current values of EVERY gun ever made.

If you can't find anything current at the library, check out Wal-Mart.  They often have gun pricing books in the sporting goods department. Many book stores have pricing guides and newspapers like the Shotgun News that sell uesed firearms. They can be great sources for what firearms are really selling for around that time. Value is also going to depend greatly on condition and modifications to the gun

I have 3 a 91/30, M-44, m38.  The price of $106.00 is a little high and if you have to add S&H + transfer the you could get soaked. Prices for the 91/30 start at $79.00 and go up from there. When buying a MN there are a lot of things to take into account. Year, receiver, stock, if it has a drilled receiver and condition just to name a few.  So is $106 a good price, yes and no. Are you going to have to add $15 shipping and $25 transfer? I will include some links that will help you understand.  Now for the ammo.  The days of cheep ammo are long gone. 7.62x39 use to cost me $1.50 a 20 now it is up to $5.00 a 20 7.62 was $2.00 a box now it can be as high as $12.00 a box.  http://world.guns.ru/rifle/rfl03-e.htm  http://www.jgsales.com/index.php/c/c-r-guns/cPath/290?osCsid=9259be2439d9897add201e57cba9cfe2  http://www.interordnance.com/index.shtml\n\nSnip: On top of that, I'm worried the corrosive primers will damage the barrel if I don't treat it specially.\nAll you need to do is clean your rifle after you shoot it.  I have a case {It is a ladies makeup case.} that I take to the range and it has every thing I need to take care of my guns.  Windex works very well for cleaning after shooting corrosive ammo .  The links have all of the info you need if you just read the. There is one Tripod site that will not link so you will have to copy and past the url to a word doc to go to the web site.  Corrosive ammo is not a problem if you clean your rifle after you shoot it and I am not saying the next day I am say before you go home from the range .

You'll have to buy a book or get it appraised. Here's a link that'll help:\n\nhttp://www.gundealersonline.com/appraisers.asp
