A local guy is wanting to trade me a mint condition Model 29-2 .44mag with a 4'' barrel, for my Romanian PSL I have been trying to sell.  

Anybody give me a little background on these?  I know the larger 8'' barrel was used by Dirty Harry Callahan in movies, but thats about all I know.

What is their worth in mint condition?

The 8-3/8" M29-2 was only used for some of the promotional photos for the movie.  He used a 6-1/2" in the movie.  I got one for my father back a few years ago.

The S&W Standard Catalog rates them as the following-

ANIB-$1800
EXC-$1100
VG-$700
Good-$500
Fair-$400
Poor-$300

29-2-1962, Cylinder stop changed, eliminate trigger guard screw

I have learned that mint means a lot of different things to people.

Does it have the box, paperwork, tools? Have you seen it? What is the condition of the finish?

Assuming the bluing is in 90+% and it locks up tight, it should bring $800 or so pretty easily. 4" guns are harder to find.
