    1. Blue 357 4" Excellent condition #K428xx -- 1981

    2. Stainless steel 357 NIB #PY583x 4" -- Very Late Model, probably 90's but no published serial numbers available for this prefix. Suggest you contact Colt Historian for this one.

    3. Nickle 357 4" Excellent condition E601xx -- 1973

    As far as value goes, early guns seem to bring more money than later specimens. I had a NIB 4 inch Nickle made in 1976 that a Collector ripped out of my hands for $1,200 a couple of months ago. This would be a "High" figure and it was his choice as I really didn't want to sell it.

    Last weekend, I bought a very late 2 1/2 inch Stainless in about 97% for $600 at a local Gun Show.

    Personally, the "Earlier" Guns are much nicer and bring more money in my opinion. Right now the Market is "weird" so I would do a search on GB and AA for "Sold Items" and see if I could find some comparables that have sold and "guesstimate" the value from there. Hope this helps a little. Good Luck!
