On my way home from work I stopped at a pawn shop to see if they had anything worth buying this shop is usually way overpriced like a 9mm shield for $650  but in the corner of the display case was a pearl handled gold plated colt revolver not 100% the finish left alot to be desired it was a colt peacemaker 22 six shot they where asking $1300 for it which i'm pretty sure is way overpriced but I could be wrong I couldn't take any pictures of it. The lady said the price was not firm what would it be worth and can it be sent somewhere to be refinished and brought back to like new condition

Colt made the Scout under several names from 1957 through 1986, as both standard production models and especially as commemorative models.
Among the model names were Frontier Scout (Q or F serial number suffix), Frontier Scout (K suffix), Frontier Scout '62 (P suffix),Peacemaker 22 Scout also sometimes marked "Buntline Model", and New Frontier 22 Scout with adjustable rear sight These were made early with aluminum frames, then zinc alloy frames, and from 1970, with steel frames. They were all the same basic single action. They differed mostly in barrel length, grips, finishes, and with some versions made with .22LR and .22 Magnum interchangeable cylinders. Huge numbers of the Scout models were made as commemorative models in a bewildering number of versions commemorating various events. These were usually finished in various combinations of silver and gold with special stamps on the barrel and in fancy boxes with commemorative papers. Very few of these are worth more then $650 absolutely brand new, totally un-fired, and with every paper, tag, box, sleeve, and medallion that came with them originally. Anything at all missing or ONE shot fired and the value plunges. So the asking price is of $1300 is absolutely ludicrous |
