An acquaintance has been given (not a typo) a pre-29, and needs to sell it for much needed capital. He is not an afficionado, and in this case, neither am I. He describes it thusly: "New, in the box, with original grips, un-turned, with all the stuff it came with, including the origninal bill of sale." It's described as a 6.5" barrel. He was not certain if it was a 4-screw or 5 screw variant.
I have several questions, but the meat of it is this: How much should I be willing to pay for this, if it is close to being as described? I don't want to chisel this young man, as he is a serving Marine and needs the money, but I don't want to over-pay, nor does he want me to.
Let us presume that it is in fact the original finish, in like-new condition, and the grips are new, un-marred Cokes, numbered to the gun, and the box is correct and in good condition as well.
All opinions welcome.
Thanks!
