Hoping that one of the DW revolver guys can help me out with this: A friend has given me the opportunity to purchase this fine specimen but neither of us has a clue about what it's worth.  It's about thirty five years-old and has two different barrel lengths. The 8" barrel(s) include a ported and non ported. The gun and the eight inch shroud are Armalloyed.  The short (4"?) shroud is still blued. I have no idea of value as they don't come up often. Has approximately 300 rounds through it and is in pretty good shape; not perfect/excellent but no dings, dents or scratches.

Thanks!

The best place to check is GunBroker looking at past sales.  Right now the market seems weak probably due to Christmas coming.  I just went out and took a quick look with two barrels my guess would be 850 - 950 those prices are for original finish so not sure what this modified finish would go for.  My gut tells me with the non-matching barrel and the modified finish it would be on the low end.  You could always put the blue barrel out on E-Bay and get a couple of hundred for it for sure.  Hope this helps.

I agree with this^^

 

But the current owner didn't Armalloy the 4" shroud? What sort of cheapskate bastage...?...oh wait, he's a friend. My bad, Tell him a non-matching set like that is only worth 50% of normal. lol2
