Condition is everything..now we are talkin straight up new in the Box...1250 to 1500...

1978 don't make it special...if it were 1968 you could add a few dinero to the price as it would not have a Letter prefix to the SN. and those were ostensibly better made spoons. 6 inch or 4 inch Barrel don't make much diff...Nickle add a few bux..say 150...

Any wear puts it right around 1000.00

So get a price and dicker with him on the price a bit..if you get a super clean gun for 1000 you done real good. They are well worth having, they shoot great...all though they do not like the HEAVY 357 loads...get a SW 686 or 27-2 for that kind of work.

And since Colt ain't makin that model anymore..the super clean ones will keep climbin in value..
