NEED HELP Pricing an Antique S&W .32 Long Nickel Revolver

[tnvolfan]

This gun is IMMACULATE and has never been shot. The dealer showed me in his gun catalog the listing for this gun. It is a "Hand Ejector Post WWII (Pre-Model 30) .32 S&W Long cal., 6 shot, 3 in. barrel, nickel, fixed sights, walnut grips." The book says it was designated a Model 30 after 1958, but there is no model number anywhere on this gun. The book valued the gun new in the box at $600, but since there is no box, he priced it at $429. He got it in a trade yesterday from a man who collect antique guns. Is this a good deal for someone who wants a .32 revolver???

I can't find anything in any of my books that matchs premodel 30 but the actual model 30 which was introduced in 1908 and dropped in 1972,,the description matches but value is 250 in excelleant conditon..
There was a 1st model 32 hand ejector but that was introduced in1896 and ran til 1906 with a value of 600 in excellant and it wouldn't have any markings but maybe on the cylinder.


Hard to say if it truly has no markings and not seeing it
