Highpower

Going to probably list this for a friend but need info. Maybe a high power serial number t288196. Think it dates around 1968. Dirty and a flaw on the front of the slide. So any info? Worth?
Let me know

I recently bought one like this through Cabelas for $1,400. It is flawless. Yours is worth close to that I think anyway.

Would it help to have the slide refinished

I would say this is a “this depends” type question. It is not, per se, the collectible version (shot and has marks) so it will sell to a shooter, one who will use it. I doubt the current value goes up with the slide redone. You may never recoup the additional cost of the change. Were it me, I would disclose with photos. Be upfront, ask the money and be prepared to negotiate pricing. There are people who want this pistol. Definitely clean it up, take the slide off and clean the barrel and rails. This will help with the sale.

Thanks sir, appreciate it.

In a HUGE word NO!! HELL NO!!! Don't you dare!
If you have it redone you can knock off about forty percent of the value

My own opinion is that's an $800 gun. Not all of them are collectable or more desirable than other guns.

A good friend in CO just bought this one 2 weeks ago for $800...made in 71 and it's in really great shape. Now, he got a solid deal but it's not worth a lot more than that.

Having said that, it's worth what someone is willing to pay.
