Posted By: ruffcutt S&W 681 nickel 4” value - 10/17/21
1985 or ‘86 vintage I believe, unfired. I know handgun prices have fluctuated wildly lately and have no idea what this may be worth now.
.357 magnum
$1500?
581s were blued or nickeled, the 681 should be stainless, not nickeled. Around here, $1100 would be a stretch, the locals favor adjustable sights.

My mistake, it’s stainless. The owner died shortly after purchase and it just sat in storage until the next inherited owner died and the family found the gun.

Smith and Wesson forum, they sell S&Ws on there for what I feel is crazy money sometimes.

Just under 1000

And never lose a dime on resale though few are resold.

I’m not really a handgun person so I’ll check out the S&W forum, thanks all.

They stopped selling guns in the classifieds there because of frauds

Not a real common revolver mostly because demand for fixed sighted revolvers was way down back then. You should have an "M" stamped on the frame under the crane from the recall they had on those. If it doesn't have the "M" then it didn't go in for the recall...That may actually be more attractive to some collector...or not.
