Welcome to the dwf

Prices are up.   This time last year, I could not sell one locally for over $700 on a 90 day listing.

The barrel is 6". It is measured from the forcing cone/cylinder to the muzzle.

So that one Dan Fan posted went for $1025 a bit on the high side for a Stainless steel gun but it was in very good condition from what I saw. If you have a Zebra Grip on the gun that would be worth an extra $100 to $150 I would say between $800 and $1000 and add for a Zebra grip! The gauge and tool does not add much! Good luck!

That is a small frame zebra from several years before the large frame guns were made. The DWA zebras in good shape are, worth 150 to 200. Smooth go for a premium. DW medallion checkered small frame go for 200 to 250. Smooth DW up to 300. All Large and Supermag target grips are smooth. Zebras go for 200 to 250. I see grips on eBay whose prices are much higher. I suppose the sellers like to haggle and waste time with buyers. If it isn't a BIN deal or a auction I don't bother. 80% of Guns on Gunbroker are priced to high to start. EBay is like that too now.

I did not have a pic of a large frame grip. I was just trying to show him what a Zebra looks like. Here is a pic of a large frame Zebra in smooth finish. IMG_8898.JPGImage Enlarger

They are nice-looking grips!  I still like the LB Grips, they are excellent too.

Pics will help, there is one on Gunbroker right now that ends today

Maybe I'm a little biased, but I think someone got a very good deal!

If I hadn't just scored a nice 744 Hunter Pack earlier this year, I would have been all-in on that one!

Regards,

Jim
