S&W 12 Gun Set Worth?
It's a numbered set where each revolver has the same # out of 500. Each one has a different scene. It comes with blue prints and the history of each type of revolver in the set. There all NIB. The story I got was S&W made 500 of each gun each month for 12 months. I have looked all over the net and can't find any info on them.

The S&W 12 revolver sets were made in 1990 for Ellett Bros in Chapin So Carolina. As you mentioned there was one revolver made for each month.
Each gun had a scene engraved on the sideplate. I have seen these sets for sale at between $6,000 to $8,000. I have also seen separate guns from a set for sale.

Thanks Laredo Lefty, that's the one. I guess prices haven't gone up much. If I remember correctly between 7-8K is what I paid back in the late 90's. 0 -
The book "12 Revolvers" by Roy Jinks details these pieces. There is one on auction now but I can't give you the URL. 0 -
