Need some advice from you wheelgun experts
Feller is trying to sell me a Colt New Service .44-.40. 5.5-inch barrel. Serial # puts it manufactured in 1933-1934. I'd say it was good to very good. Not the original grips, but a pretty nice set of aftermarkets. I'm not sure whether it's a $500 gun or a $1,500 gun. Anybody know or at least have a strong opinion?

Re: Need some advice from you wheelgun experts
If it had all original parts and a mother of pearl grip I'd definitely say at least 1,100. If it has all its parts and is functional (which I'm assuming it is) I would take 500 for her happily.
