[QUOTE="grizzlywinmag, post: 3899448, member: 37292"] Normally, your NRM would have a quite high value. Value for such a collectible firearm is based upon originality and condition, that includes the following; original stocks, box, documents and tools, and remaining finish condition. A refinished gun will have less value than the original. Although if proven to have been refinished at the S&W factory, it would have a higher value than non factory, although still lower than original, even if the original gun is quite worn. Also, provenance has an effect on value. You can request a S&W history letter from Roy Jinks that will tell you the ship date as well as to whom it was shipped. The cylinder "engraving", the severe grinding and non-original stocks diminishes the value quite a bit on this one. I'd value it at no more than $1k and I think it'd be tough to get someone to offer that. Your NRM appears to have a 4" barrel, which I don't believe was standard, so value may be helped there. And the stocks it wears look familiar although I cannot say for certain, maybe Sandersons? If so, they're worth quite a bit. How do you know it was shipped to an individual? [/QUOTE]
