Not really. Maybe to the right person. But generally speaking used is used. Being in 100% condition helps the value.
About 20 years ago I bought a Lady Smith and a Smith 9mm and put them in my gun safe. They have never been fired. Are they worth more because they have never been fired? Models 3913 with 3 1/2 barrel and 5906 with 4 inch barrel.
1775usmarine is accurate with a few notable exceptions (if you follow Gunbroker auctions) on both ends of the price spectrum.
I can tell you at least one person that is looking for a 5906 in near NIB condition....unfortunately I'm in Fort Wayne and you are in Evansville.
OMG...I'm shocked....you don't think someone would try to get around the 50 post rule? Should I post my address and phone number, in case its legit?
