Back in about 1990 or so my Dad and each bought 357 Blackhawk flat tops. Sadly there came a time when I needed to unload most of my guns so mine went down the road. Always wanted another but never bought one, Dad though kept his. Well he passed 5 years ago now and we are slowly distributing some of his things between us kids. Its been widely known that I would like to keep his Blackhawk. Long story short I brought it home last week. The value of these has changed drastically since we first bought them.
For insurance purposes, what should I figure for this? It is a shooter grade, someone at one time had it plated but that plating is coming off and the barrel has been drilled and tapped for a scope. Mechanically its near perfect with a nice bore and a tight cylinder. It has some dings and scrapes but shes got some years on it, serial number starts with 39xxxxx.
