No expert by no means here but that firearm has been fired more than once or at least cycled many times.
The picture blow up shows it all.
The value is the most you are willing to pay and the least the seller will take or somewhere in between

No box or papers but I did buy go ahead and buy it. He told me that if I had any misgivings, that he would give my money back.

No box? There was one pictured with the gun.

That was Dan's gun posted with a box.

Thanks for the clarification.

I should have caught that.

I'm 70 too, I understand.

Looks righteous to me. 28 has the duller bluish grey than the other NS. Hard to tell from picture. If original $800 is not a crazy price. I have 4”ers in that condition with letters that I would want that much for. The 6” 28 is getting harder to find, still quite a few 4” to be had. You ain’t going to find nice 28s for $600 anymore. A lot of them going into custom jobs in 41, 45 & 45acp.

I don't think you could go wrong. Even if it's been re- blued. They don't make them like that, any more.

First thing I thought when I saw this 28 was why is the finish nicer than an original 28? Then next I wondered why the cylinder looks darker than the rest of the gun? I think it's not original and priced too high.

The buff marks tell it was polished or reblued.

George, it looks like the 28-2 is it? Regardless I think you made a good purchase. Congratulations!

Cylinder has turn line. Cylinder also has nice square edges on locking notches. Recoil shield is hard to see but if gun had high round count with magnum loads it would be imprinted. I can’t tell if marks are buffing or just wiping marks in oil WD or like. How did it come out in the end as far as reblue, and other negatives ? Pictures are helpful but unless professional done the glare and shadows on surfaces don’t help much on fine calls. I can’t take pics with what I have.
Most gun pics are more like window dressing even though shot from several angles.
I buy a lot of S&W revolvers on line and have short list of what I want to see. If seller can’t provide, no sale. I don’t give allowances for plausible deniability.

There is a guy on Outdoors Trader (GA based forum) who has this S&W model 28 for sale. He is asking $880.00 for it. If anyone can tell from these pictures, is it worth the asking price

These are all of the pictures he provided.

It’s not that old so I’m not surprised that it looks good. What about the original box? It’s not a bad deal either way
