No box or other papers. What would you folks expect to be a good selling price range for this, so I can figure my profit margin and determine if it's worthwhile.Thanks Last year before Sandy Hook, I'd have estimated the price of a gun such as you describe to be $900, low-retail. Prices have went up and then come down since then on common guns and collectibles seem to have moved up some, so I don't have a good current estimate. What you pay for it and what you get for it may be different, but $900 is my estimate. I would say $800-$900, depending on its condition.Markings on the grip frame would not ruin collector value but it will cost you around $150 for a minty replacement.The.44Mag Blackhawk 'flat-top' was produced from 1956-1962.

The.44 Blackhawk was simply phased out in 1962.Re: 4 digit Blackhawk.44 Mag value?02/08/14. Modul stoikiometri pdf converter. My second Pistola (at 18 in the good ol days) was a 4 digit flat top that I traded my first pistola (model 57 41 mag) for.A friends dad wanted the smith and I LOVED the feel of that Blackhawk in my hand.So if any of you have her (Ser # 13076(yes, I still remember)) take care of her we rode many a road mile and walked a bunch together.429215 kilt a bunch of jackrabbits and a few prairie dogs for me.First and last game she killed for the original owner was a treed Black Bear with 429421 over 12.5 grains of 2400. YES, 12.5 grains, apparently the guy that reloaded them for the hunt set his scale wrong.One shot and the bear died, so apparently a very mild 44 SPL load will still kill things. My own 'Flattop'.44 Magnum is a very early model 10XX serial number and will NEVER be sold.I've been offered $1000 for it and never considered selling.

I'd say that any early Flattop should bring $750-$1000 depending on condition.Most of the early Flattops were made with 6 1/2' barrels.the versions with the 7 1/2' barrel will bring a premium price from true collectors and add maybe $200 to the total. Those with an 'original' brass grip frame will bring even more and the hard rubber grips (as opposed to the more common wood grips) will also bring a few more dollars.The addition of aftermarket grips (stag or ivory are common) seem to be really common on these guns (and why not.has there ever been a gun that screamed for costom grips like the Flattop), so I'd also think that original grips might bring a few dollars more too.

My own Flattop has really nice Stag grips, but the original hard rubber grips are in the safe.
