Blackhawk .41 magnum, what's it worth?

[jw83]

I have a relative who is trying to sell it and was wondering what is it worth, I belive it is a 1969 model in good condition, anybody have a ball park what this thing is worth?

Depending on barrel , cal , condition , ect , their going on GunBrokers from anywere between $425 and $600 if that gives you some idea , in this part of NW Ohio that is about normal too .

Don't know where you are from, but  in this area .41's go for a little less  because they seem to be out of favor right now. The prices at KTP are representitive for the North East perhaps, and you can take a gander there as they usually have one, or three. Ktp.com, and look for the used guns tab on the toolbar.

purchased a three screw that had been converted with original parts included two years ago for $275.00 from a small shop in eastern central mo. nra 98%  $275.00 was a buy. but in tulsa three years ago i found a 44 redhawk ss with a scuff from poor scope mounting for $300.00 buys are there if a person looks.

  Without knowing more than "1969 .41 mag"   It's hard to say but a general value would be about what's said above.  I've seen 'em as low as $300 and as high as...well high.    Box, condition, converted (parts included if done) all factor in.

  Certainly not representitive of MA prices.

A couple of weeks ago I bought a 99% early New Blackhawk in .41 Mag, 6.5 inch barrel, for $325 here in western WA state.  They had it in stock unsold for a while, too.  The older versions, such as the one made in 1969 bring more money if they still have their original action and haven't been back to the factory for a transfer bar safety conversion.  I saw one of these with about 75% original finish for about $500 on the same table where I bought the New Blackhawk mentioned above.  Some people will pay the premium for a "four clicker" action but I'm not one of them.

Since the OP's deal involves a relative, that can turn it into a completely different matter, can it not?

I think 41s are probably in demand here in Wyo lately. A retired cop killed a griz that was attacking him with a 41 last summer.

When it was new, it cost @ $97.  My dad bought his 357 about then.  $300 today would not be an unrealistic price.

A "collector quality" example would, w/o box, be worth $500+, IMHO.
A 4-5/8" barrel version commands a slight premium, as well.

I bought a 6.5" that was made in the mid-90's a few weeks ago...paid $300 for it and thought it was a deal....shot it and it siezed up...sent to ruger for repair..just got the quote today...$67 in parts and labor plus shipping...I'll have them refinish for $130 as well....some deal....

[BlkHawk73]

What parts does it need?  Most can be a DIY fix.  If it needs refinishing then it wasn't worth the $300 regardless.
