Guns Like firearms themselves, there's a wide variety of opinions on what's the best gun.

What do you think I could get for it?

Default What do you think I could get for it?

OK guys, would like a best guestimate of the value of one of my handguns. It is a Colt Trooper MK V (not the Mk III). It is a square butt with original Colt grips, 4" vent barrel with red insert in front sight. Adjustible rear sight. The only blemish on this piece is a minor fading of the blueing on the cylinder about 1/16" x 3/16" presumably what looks like from holster wear. The rest of the blueing is mint, excellent bore and no scratches on the grips. I would estimate it about 85-90%.
Lets have your guess as to its value.

SB - I've been away from the computer awhile. Busy watching my grandkids. The last time I checked no one responded. I thank you for your research. Cabelas wanted to give me $225 _ I figured it may be worth at least $100 more. Maybe I'll take it to the next nearby gun show and show it to a colt collector and see what he offers.
