I have a P226, circa 1988, 10,000 rounds through it, rebuilt by Sig Sauer in 2005, re blued/parked, by sig, new grips, faded night sights (but still glow a bit) and six factory mags.
Whats it worth? I don't see many on gun broker to compare. |

The West German guns, while very well-made, don't automatically bring a premium because many of them (most of them) have a LOT of life behind them. That's not to say they're worn out--a German Sig 226 will probably outlive most of us here--but they're far from new and that condition factors into cost.
Now, if you find one in excellent original condition...that would carry a premium. But for what the OP describes (minus photos and more details) would probably bring between $500-600 as a shooter, not a collector. |
| I sold a KH with one mag and bright night sights for $550 shipped to an FFL. It was in great condition. If your barrel wasn't replaced when it was rebuilt at SIG then maybe $450 as a high with one mag, add $20-25 per mag. If you have the box and target, then it is worth somewhat more. |

bigash636 snagged a mint hardly shot 87 with complete yellow box for $500. $400 for yours A West German with 6 mags for $400? Even with that many rounds and the refin that sounds low. I'd say $500-600 would be more in line, at least in my neck of the woods. |
| $400-550 for used depending on condition and location....More (quite a bit) for a minty one with box and papers..That being said, although I am a huge fan of the German made guns and its all I own, don't get caught up in the hype of them. Dealers are now starting to promote these earlier German guns as some sort of Holy Grail and asking astronomical prices for them. The new 226's are great guns. Just sayin. |

Quoted: Same as any of the factory reworked guns ~500-550. Mags as stated above about 15-25 a piece after 2 with the gun. Where can I find factory hi-cap mags for $15 each? I'd pick up some more at that price. While I haven't bought any P226 mags in a long time, last time I did I was using Mec Gar mags and real happy with them. Are they still making P226 mags and if so, how are they regarded these days?

What about a pair of NIB West German ones with consecutive serial numbers? Quoted:

A lot if it is west German made. What about a pair of NIB West German ones with consecutive serial numbers? A collector MAY show interest, to me the west German Sigs will always be worth around $500 each. Unless they are shot to hell. |
