High Standard Double Nine

devd4805
I bought a High Standard Double Nine with leather holster for $200.00
in 2002. It is blue with the ivory grips, it looks like the one in the box. W-104 S/N 1280919. How old is it and did I pay too much?.
What is it approx. value?.

    I just picked up a nickel plated Double Nine with black plastic grips
    as part of a collection. No wear ring on the cylinder, clean bore.

    I have seen them listed in blue not nickel. Any idea when this item was made and it's value?

    Any help is appreciated.

    Your best bet for getting a value, would be to either post quality photos on the forum here for our folks. Or go to the two large net gun auctions, to check out the actual selling prices, for Double Nines.

    If you can post a partial serial number, it might be possible to come up with a estimate of age.

    I bought a high standard double nine back in 1959. I paid 29.95 for it new in box. I was 14 yrs old and lived in Vermont.I found a Hann fast draw holster for it. I would hate to think of how many grey squirrels and cottontails fell to that little revolver. It was deadly accurate and hitting objects as small as baby asprin bottle was common practice. Wish I still had it. I haven't seen one since I left mine in a pawn shop in Caswell, me. trapper

    There are some listed on the auction.

    http://www.gunbroker.com click on "revolvers" then put "high standard" in the search block

    Somewhere on the internet, there is a website that will give the year of MFG by serial number. I don't have the address or a link, but I've been to the website before.

    There are several variations of the Double Nine and the value will be greatly dependent on the condition and which variation it is.

    $29.95 is less than High Standard charged their jobbers, distributors or dealers. The suggested retail price in 1958 was $49.95.

    Here is a copy of the 1958 flyer introducing the Duoble Nine

    I bought this gun from a litle mom and pop store called Butternut Bend in Pawlet, Vt. The asking price was 39.95 and my dad asked if he could do better. The man asked me if it was for me. Then lowered the price to 29.95. I wrote my own check from an account in my name that was the results of an insurance settlement from a fatal auto wreck that took the life of my best friend. Trapper

    I have a "Longhorn Double Nine" High Standard. I bought it in 1966 at the military store on Adak, Alaska. I learned to shoot a pistol with
    this gun and became quite accurate. Because of the weather on Adak,
    I bought a nickel,polished finish. It's the only one that I have ever
    seen with this finish(and I go to a lot of gun shows) I gave about $60 for the gun and wouldn't even consider selling it now. What I'm
    saying is "somtimes the price of a gun depends on what it means to
    the owner"
