I'm thinking about trading them at Cabelas for a Ruger P345. Just don't want to get ripped off.

Thanks

    well, i don't see eagle/k on the left trigger guard. but if it is there you should add 100 for 1942-43, and 125% for 1941. that said your CZ is worth somewhere between $250 and $300. the smith and wesson i see is the double action third model, can't really tell from the picture. but it should have smith and wesson monogram hard rubber grips, made 1884-1895 price is somewhere between $350 and $500. i don't think i would trade for it. i would sell the guns on GB and go buy the ruger with half what you make off these.

    I'm not an expert, but i did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.

    Yes the S&W handgrips do have the logo on them. I don't see an eagle on the CZ just the stamps on the side and on the barrel.

    Thanks for the info,

    Have no clue about the CZ, but the lemon-squeezer around here would go $125-$150. Of course, different prices for different guns geographically.

    Do the blue books take into account geographical areas?

    Rmagers, no. Another example, both the Stevens and the Savage Models 24 around here go for quite a bit more than people post on here they sell for in their areas. Also, Browning A5's are apparently quite a bit cheaper on the west coast than the southeast.

    Ok, thanks for the info. I took the guns to a shop on Saturday. The guy behind the counter gave me a total value of $175 for both together. Needless to say I got a good laugh out of it.

    A retail gun store owner has to be allowed to make a decent profit off of the items he/she has bought outright and intend to resell. That being said, this twit got really greedy on you. With the WaA on the right side of the frame and the Boehemische legend on the top of the slide, you are looking at a fairly valuable piece...retail around $350 to $450 dependant on condition. The S&W lemon squeezer is, as said a later model and there appears to be a 9 inlaid into the right grip. These guns are often encountered in really great shape as they were bought for home defense and often sat in a dresser drawer for 80 years or so with little or no use. The 38's are more desireable than the 32's (and the blued guns are more valuable than the nickel guns) , but even taking the condition into account, I would say retail of about $150 to $200. $600 in a shop should take both home. He should have, in all fairness, offered you somewhere in the area of $350 for both.

    The previous reccomendation of selling them on GB should be the path you follow...you will recieve a MUCH better return on your pieces. It's a pain in the butt to do yourself what with all the tree huggers giving us hell, but just read the FAQ's and legal hints under sellers tools in the tutorial and you'll do fine. And some of these shop owners wonder why they are getting shoved out of the business...compete honestly or perish.

    Don't mean to be raining on your parade, "BUT" the finish on the CZ 27 doesn't look right to me, considering the serial number. CZ 27's with that type of high polish finish would date to when the Germans first took over Czechoslovakia, probably in the 20,000 - 30,000 serial number range. My 2?, it's been refinished.

    Thank you for the info. I've only had these guns for about a week. THey were left to me from a family member. I don't know anything about the background. I've thought about keeping them, but I'd rather be out shooting with something I like.
