Value of my gun
I have a .22 caliber 9 shot revolver (10 inch barrel) made by H&R. it says "expert" on the side. It is a break-top loader. serial # 536286. Just wandering the value. gun is in unbelievable shape.

There is no official designation for "unbelievable shape", which could mean unbelievably good or unbelievably bad.
Pictures would help but assuming it's in good to very good condition, it would probably be worth in the $100-$125 range. Excellent would bring about $150.0 -
Gotta agree with Spider... 0 -
I would really like to see some quality photos showing details of this gun. If it is "unbelievably nice" probably more like $300+ The Expert is a nice H&R! Unbelievably bad $not much$!! 0 -
