| I need a quick ballpark vale on this pistol. It's a Satin finnish steel frame pistol. It does have wear on the finnish......Ive been offered this pistol for $400 Thnaks WD |
|
anything else been done to it?
how bad is this wear? seen them go as low as 500, seen them listed for as high as 1000. but I agree. at 400, I wouldn't bother selling, unless I really needed the money for something else, and it had some serious finish issue, as they are known for not being very durable. |
| Unless the finish is worn through to the copper subplating or steel base material, a light bead blast will bring the finish back to near-new. Thay said, satin nickel is pretty delicate and shows wear quickly. If the pistol is all-original and shows no rust, $400 is a pretty good price. Normally they start around $600 and go to $1000 for the really nice examples.I paid $599 for mine. Keep Hoppes #9 or any copper solvent away from the finish. |
