Hi everyone. I have to admit this is the first time I've ever been to this site. I haven't even been lurking. I joined up because I figured this would be the place to ask about a revolver I was wanting to purchase. I can't seem to find anything price wise on this particular item.

It's blued with original wood grips 1998 .44mag with the 8" barrel. The gun is in great shape. I would say 95% only because it's not new.Could somebody give me a good guestimate on what this gun is worth? Thanks in advance and if I get it I will surely be back here with y'all in the future.

I tried to post a pic, but can't seem to figure it out right now. You can e-mail me and I'll gladly send you a pic of you wish.

Welcome aboard!

We make it tough on new folks around here, in the pic department...pics must be hosted from another site like Photobucket, or similar.

Going by your description, I'd say that $500 would be a decent price. $400 would be a killer deal & anything over $600 would be a little high, but that all depends on how much you're willing to pay personally.

I hope ya get it & stick around.occasion

collard- Welcome to DWF. I am a recent owner of a .44 as well, and don't consider myself as much of an expert on .44 prices. I usually use GunBroker as a pricing guide, with the understanding that locally bought DW's are almost always lower in my area (in other words, GunBroker is almost always high for my liking). 1998 makes it a Norwich gun, is that correct? Availability of original box, and especially the barrel tool always impacts the value as well. My uneducated guess is $500-650

Good Luck

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Hi Collard Welcome to DWF Sign.

I agree with Charger Fan on the prices, that is about what they are going for on the auctions. I picked up my 10" SS .44 Magnum for a killer deal and it is a great shooter. Good luck getting that new revolver.
