S&W Model 544 worth

[z1r]

Hi All,

Looking for some idea of what an S&W Model 544 in .44-40 might be worth these days.  Comes with original grips, factory presentation box, and in excellent used condition.

Thanks,

MIke

Collectors is always a bit high, and as they have 4 of them not selling at those prices, I think it's safe to knock $200 off each when determining real-world value.

Were one mine to sell, I'd find the one in the closest condition to mine and reduce by $200 but we willing to take $250-300 less.

If I was looking to buy, I'd want one for $200 less than Collectors at least.

Disclaimer: I'm not a S&W collector nor 44-40 shooter. The guys on the S&W forum might have a better idea of price and appreciation for the piece.

There are three on Gunbroker from $989.00 to $1100.00. A fair price is around $950.00 though with a bit of looking they can be had for $850.00.

Thanks all. Seems that the $900 range would be reasonable.

Hadn't really thought of selling as it is ridiculously accurate, but truth be told, I haven't shot it in quite some time and have other interests. Someone recently posted a WTB so I was trying to determine what a reasonable real world price would be.

Appreciate the feedback!

I seen quite a few sell on GB NiB in wood case $750-$900
I’ve almost bought one locally for $800 few months back.
Personally I wouldn’t pay more than $850. Just imo but only with presentation case.
