I paid $775 in 2017 for one made in 1954. That was a steal. Classic Colt revolvers appreciation rate is double of other guns.

Not to derail the thread, but does anybody happen to know the value of a blued late 60's model trooper in .357 mag, fair condition? Definitely shooter grade.
Thanks

Thanks In very nice condition, like new, about a thousand dollars. In nice, but slightly worn, condition, maybe $800.00. With defects like scratches, dings, and well worn finish, the price drops precipitously. Can you show us a picture?

No photos so I know that makes it hard to take a guess, but there was quite a bit of wear around the muzzle, some pitting on cylinder, and missing extractor cap. Had pachmayr grips.
Was on an auction and went north of $400.

TRH you do have some very nice revolvers. It's not the cost of the arm but the cost of the high quality alcohol consumed celebrating a range trip with them afterwards that makes them expensive. Yeah I said that. Another chapter of "At the range with TRH" well done . Mb

I have one with a 6" barrel. It is very nice to shoot, quite accurate and incredibility smooth . Bought from my uncle about 1975 for $150. It lives in my night stand by the bed.
