The Hawes Marshall series were large frame single actions made by J.P. Sauer and Son in what was then West Germany. At one time there were 35 western shows running at the same time (50's and 60;s ) this created a " Western Craze " and a demand for Single Action type firearms. Because at the time the German mark was under valued, Hawes was able import these guns at a price that under cut Ruger and Colt. They are good guns for the price and there are still a lot of them around. If in good condition and functional the value would be 200 and up, but would top out at around 300. Hawes also made a smaller frame single action in .22 that was made in Italy, The guns came in a vast array of different grips and finishes. With out a clear a photo it would be very difficult to give any type of valid value estimate. Hope that helps BTW, while attractive, the grips are not real Mother of Pearl, they are genuine Faux plastic Pearl.
