    I have a model 29-2 44 magnum with 6 1/2" barrel, blued with wood grips. It was pulled from the closet and photographed as is, not cleaned. Sat for years, didn't know it was there. I plan on selling it but need to know what a fair value is. It has a N serial number that places it around 1978. check photo for condition.

    Nice Karma, I'm in.

    Seriously, go over to the Smith and Wesson forums for accurate pricing. The presentation case will add value. If you have the box and p/w, that will add even more. Unless you really need the money, I would hold to to it.

    PM me if you are located near Frederick. I know some one looking to buy just such a gun.

    I will buy one of these one day. Definitely on my short list. I'm guessing yours, if cleaned:smack:, would fetch about $1000.

    Didn't know it was in your closet?
    I wish I had a magic closet like that!
    :D

    I think good pics help if the gun is in good condition. Often on GB you see pics that are taken from behind and below or are out of focus are major red flags for me.

    I am not interested in a Mod 29 so I have no dog in the hunt, but in front and behind the cylinder and below the Smith and Wesson on the barrel are areas of concern to me. It could be dirt pitting or rust. The later two hurt the value, but you can clean dirt and there is no reason why you should not, if you keep it or sell it.

    If this sounds harsh, that was not my intention at all.

    Check out the completed sales on gunbroker. You'll get a good range of what they have sold for. $1000 to $1300 is a good range. For sure a $1k gun, but a motivated buyer will pay more. Condition is everything. Good luck.
