I am trying to determine the value of three guns .
* Colt Official Police 4" barrel wood grips 90% metal and bore 85% to 90% 38 special.

* Savage SxS 12ga 28" barrel field gun 70 %

* JC Higgins same as the Savage .
Thank You for your help,
Jim Z

Ballpark, Colt $500 and up, Savage, $450, JC, a little less. Prices are crazy now and Gunbroker is crap, Blue Book pretty good but nothing is stable. I'm turning down appraisals as I don't need the guff when I accurately price something and then get femaledogged at when they come back and say, "I just saw it at $ on xxxxxx"

Thank you , we agree on the Colt. The shotguns I thought $250 ....$300 ?
Thank You Again,
Jim

70 % tough to evaluate, Is it a nice even wear with good patina from muzzle to butt plate. Or ????. Jim you know what I mean. Values do vary from $250 to $495.. hard to break the ugly $500 number.

I think you're about correct, personally, but people are paying crazy amounts of money for the most unremarkable guns. I stopped by Cabela's yesterday and left shaking my head.

Think you are correct in the shotguns. There has to be a willing buyer and a willing seller
