Is it a Model 53?
Are the chamber adapters with the gun? I have a pristine Model 53 and a Contender chambered for .22 Jet. I tried to buy one with an 8 inch barrel at an auction in Foristell last spring that brought $1700 or $1800, with adapters, and display case, and the original box. I bid $1250 and that was a fair offer. Take the gun to Trailcreek Trade on Rock Road in St. Ann for an appraisal. |

No need for an appraisal. Go to the Smith & Wesson forum for an opinion. I have a 53 and you are looking at 600-1000 for a bare gun depending on condition, you can add 4-500 if it has the box and adapters, and you can add at least another 500-750 if it has the replacement 22lr cylinder.

I know he no longer has the box or papers that came with it. But he does have the .22 lr sleeves, .22 jet dies, some ammo and about +500 rounds of primed brass ready to go. From what he says, it's in mint to near mint condition. Normally I'd tell him to just go look it up himself but he's not real internet savvy and I don't think he's been to a gun shop in 20 years. Honestly I'm not sure that he realizes exactly what he has, other than its big, loud, and expensive.
