3 Digit .357 Flattop w/Box...

Post by JussBad »

SOLD. Ruger .357 Flattop with 3 digit serial number. Cylinder frame has been re-blued (high polish) but it does not appear that the cylinder or barrel has been re-blued. Was my 7xx gun on my quest to get one in each s/n range... (another story) - has original box, manual and warranty card - just the way I got it. Priced accordingly for a re-blued flattop. $1250 + shipping/insurance to your ffl.

This is a good looking flat top, but, according to the blue book, they are valued at $1000 if they are 100%.

The Blue Book does not get down into some of the rarer variations. This is a 3-digit gun with original box and papers. If not reblued it would be somewhere in the $2k range. The box and papers alone are $550-600. This is of course JMHO.

Well, when at the Tulsa Wanamaker show, down on Ruger row, all of the “experts” told me that the 100% grading means that the gun has the box, papers and is all original.

The Red Eagle News Exchange price list of early 2018 lists a three digit .357 Blackhawk (95-98%) with original box and documents at approximately $2,200. This is the average price a collector would pay. A mint revolver would easily sell for $2,500 to $3,000 or more. The price listed is more than fair.

Why do I see over and over, folks quoting prices/info from the RENE? If you want to know this stuff, subscribe. As a member/subscriber to the service that I pay for, do not care for folks passing on free info that many of us pay for. I bet Chad does not like it either.

Randy, Doc was simply making a point regarding the value of the 3-digit BKH3. There was no request for a value. I think Chad would be happy that the price guide is being used. JMHO.

Please forgive my rude post re: the RENE, none of my business anyway. Think all Ruger folk should subscribe to the RENE, lots of fun reading.
