Colt DS question

[Mastrogiacomo]

I have a Colt DS in excellent condition, 1972. What would a gun like this expect to sell for? Thank you.

Finish?

Original blued finish - it looks like this:

Looks like 3rd issue

NIB 750
Exc 600

2012 Standard Catalog of Firearms

IMO, this book gives a slightly inflated pricing - but you get a general idea.

Thank you, I appreciate the info.

NP, your best bet for what you can actually get out of it will be completed auctions

Stay tuned, someone with a better book may be along shortly

I agree with stressfire. I've collected them for decades now. That is one of the later models produced before they changed over to the Stainless SF-VI. Prices generally are about what he said.

There's one in a local gun shop right now priced at $800.00. I have a nickle one & I wouldn't take less than $1,000.00 for it. I carry it occasionally. The longer I keep it the greater the value.
