What's it worth

[JimR]

I have a brand new in the box unfired S&W M617 10 shot revolver in stainless steel with a 8 3/8" barrel. I know S&W doesn't make this anymore and was wondering what it might be worth now. The revolver is new and unfired. TIA Jim R.

$100. Trade you a Jennings for it.

KIDDING.

I believe that NIB 10-shot 617s with the 6" barrel are selling for between $550 and $600. I'd guess you could use that as a starting point, but that's JMHO...

There is one on GB right now with a 6" barrel. The buy now price is $629.99

Thanks for the info and link. The 6" M617 is still in production. I think the production on the 8 3/8" ended in 2003 or 2004. So I can assume this gun would be worth more to the right person. I did do a search on the three gun websites AA, GB and GA for this gun and could not find one listing with this barrel.

Thanks, that is what I was looking for. Mine is the target model.
