Freedom Arms 454 Casull. Never seen one engraved before. Has been fired but not much. Any guesstimate on value?

Old school lot of custom work engraving and gold plating? Premier or Field Grade I saw no mention on the box. My 454 Premier with numerous options/ trigger job/jeweling/express sights/45 ACP fitted cylinder was $2K in 2007:
ETA I bet FG in model # = Field Grade...any paperwork on the Engraver and Plater? |

Traditionally any high grade engraved firearm looses most of it's enhanced collectors value once it gets any noticeable shooting wear on it .
That being said FA makes some super well made highly desirable shooters and they command pretty high price tags even as used guns. If you shoot a plated engraved revolver much it is going to look worn pretty fast |

The model designation FA454FGFS can be broken down to: Freedom Arms .454 Casull Field Grade Fixed Sights. I do not think that the engraving is adding anything to the value but rather is reducing it by 10 to 20% from the average used price.

The engraving doesn't add any value to it for me, in fact I'd most likely pass on the gun at any price because of it.

So what are they asking for the revolver? I was thinking about having my FA engraved a while back and a few of the web sites would not work on them due to the "toughness" of the steel for engraving. Is it gold plated too looks so in the pictures?

No gold plating that was just the camera lighting. Revolver went for $1300 and had a group of locals wanting it

Engraving, especially when not a factory option, gets to be a tricky thing to put a price on, kinda like custom murial paintjobs on cars. If it's a well known artist, it might pull a significant premium otherwise you'll just have to find someone who really enjoys the work and decide what they're willing to pay for it.
It might be a slow mover and actually cause the pistol to take a lose compared to an untouched factory example. |

$1,300 is fair price/deal. Thanks for the interesting post.
