Price check for a friend on a colt trooper mkV in .357

[Saltwater60]

Any thoughts. I can find blued prices, but not many nickel one. I think it’s a 6” barrel and she’s looking to sell it.

I’ve used this website before as a guide to establish a ballpark figure. Keep in mind that any sold in the last 12-18 months had the covid pricing premium. The gun market seems to be stabilizing now.

I hope this helps.

I did see that site, thank you. The reason I asked is many sold seem to be the blued version and there are many different calibers and configuration to this firearm. She is thinking of asking $900. I said that seemed right to me but let me look and ask around. It’s going to some one whom she knows in a round about way as well.

For me if I was the one buying I would pay $850-1200 depending on how tight the lockup was, how flawless the finish and condition is, and if it comes with box/paperwork etc

I would say that $900 to a friend is a fair asking price. Typically An excellent condition Nickel finished gun from any quality gun maker will increase the value around 30% or more over blued versions.

For some reason the blues ones seem to command a higher price on these and I thought that was odd to me because typically you’re correct.

Thanks. The finish is flawless from what I remember. I haven’t seen it in a while and honestly I’m not sure it was ever fired. I think I’ll tell her to ask $1,000 unless some one says differently on here over the next day or so. The blued ones seem to be getting $1,300-$1,500.

The Mark V is much less common than the more numerous Mark III revolvers.

Thanks. Any idea on price. I looked up the serial number and this is what it says.
1983
Model
Lawman MK V/Official Police/Trooper MKV/Matte Peacekeeper

After doing some more research they seem very rare. This is the top of the line model for the MKV, but the grips look to have been changed out. Rumor has it only around 50,000 we’re made over a few years production and then stopped.
