I'm going to sell my S&W 1955, pre-25, 5 screw, and I can't find a "real world" value for it. It has the wood presentation case and is in exc. plus condition. However, it may have been reblued. One "expert" says yes and another says no. If it is , it is a very good job. Realistically, what should I price it at?

  Agree with SaxonPig on all. If it has a 6 1/2 inch pinned barrel the value increases $150.00 in 100% condition.

  All "Pre-Model" Smiths of this era have pinned barrels, and Pre-Models 25 have 6.5-inch barrels. No Pre-Model 1955 came in a wood case, but Smith sold wood cases for years so it is not uncomon to find guns in non-original cases. Some discount a reblue less than I do, but to me, it cuts the value to what someone will pay for a shooter because it has no collector value.

  Hello"roysha"[:)]
  
  My Lord, How I hate most of the "imote-icons" on the internet. I hope that most of the originator's fall into some sort of deep pit with a "grisley-'bear'". I also hope that the 'bear' wins.
  
  My Best Regards:)

  Number 2: I may not have as many----but I may be able to make Dr. Pig sweat----I have more "S&W"'s ""Hand-ejector's"" than most people have ever seen, "What caliber is the 1955 chambered in????"
  
  My Many Thanks In Advance:)
  
  OK---Guy's and Dolls, I need another AUB 6500-C for "back-up". The "stripers" are starting to come into the 'deep' holes in the "Suwanee River" at the mouth of the "Suwanee River"......
  Many Thanks In Advance[:)]
