What would you pay S&W mod 10?

For those that know the market: older model 10 with the thin 4" barrel and fixed sights

Trouble is it has a large stain on most of the side plate and some roughness/pitting on the back strap.

I think the stains are blood. Why do I care? It has a good trigger and will work for I Core, games with holstering etc etc

Any chance it could re-blue after having blood on it?

I think its too much at $299 but may be worth $150

I know its off board topic but I know you guys know.

What do you guys think?

thanks!

Decent examples are not hard to find under 300.00...that is, examples without roughness, pitting, or BLOOD-Stains..!!
As described...I'd not want to own it at all. You only have time to enjoy so many toys....why choose to spend any of that time with a piece you may not have much "pride-of-ownership" with.
IF one could obtain it CHEAP ENOUGH....as in REALLY CHEAP...it might be used as a platform to build up something interesting.

I'm with Don. Happy, Buzz?

Seriously, however, this may be a good yardstick against which to measure that Model 10. Last year, I sold a 4" heavy-barrel Model 64, the stainless steel version of the 10, that was in very good mechanical shape but showed a lot of the fine scratches indicative of holdter wear, for $350. There are lots of both models out there, many of them former police department issue.

Thanks guys

It isn't mine nor was I trying to sell it for them but I might consider it for something to fool with and as a favor to the shop with whom I have done a lot of business over the years. I suppose it could be bead blasted and matte finished or the like but who knows. I do like to get creative.

Unless it was a real bargain though I wouldnt consider it as resale is gonna be tough

thanks

Here is a link for those 3" Model 10s at Bud's. Three inch Model 10s are not very common. The price was right so I ordered one. If you are looking for a good knock around pistol that has plenty of life left, these are the ticket.
