    Yes!

    Yes!

    4" barrel 6-shot.38

    They were made in 4 and 6 inch barrels.

    What is the ballpark value?

    BallPark? From "Very Little" to a "Good Amount." Not being a Smart A$$ but this particular gun is made on an Aluminum Frame and the Finish is very Fragile, making it easily degraded. Whether or not the Gun is in "Original Condition" with its proper parts and stocks, and depending on the actual condition, (Based on a Percentage), the Regional and Local Market, and what a ready, willing and able Buyer would pay for it. You can get a better idea by giving a condition or even posting pictures of the gun. It is impossible to place a value on a Gun on a Sight UnSeen Basis.

    Ok, ok so it's kind of a broad question. paid a hundred barrel looks clean and not degraged, some holster wear on the barrel exterior, cylinder seems tight action is good.
    does that help?

    An 85% Gun would be estimated to be worth "in the Ball Park" of $225 to $250.....again depending on your market area....could be a little more or a little less! Hope that helps.....You did fine at $100...keep and enjoy it!

    DuckHunter:
    You are right! I was having another "Senile Moment" and was thinking about the "Colt 357" at the time.......I was WRONG....NO 6 Inch Barrel on the Viper...

    Damn, I hate this.......making a mistake! I thought I had made a Mistake once, but it developed that I was mistaken......HahahahahA!
