    Model 19 No Dash

    I recently found and purchased a Model 19 Combat Magnum that appears new in the box with original cleaning kit and wrapped in the original wax paper. It is absolutely perfect with a faint turn line. I feel I got a good deal on it, however it was an impulse purchase to possibly resell. Serial number starts with 317. With all the originality, box, cleaning kit, etc, what price would you knowledgeable folks put on it? I'm just trying to educate myself, not for sale at this time. Thanks in advance.

    Any decent model 19 is at minimum $700, but a +98% gun such as you describe, complete with box? I'd guess 1,200-1,600, perhaps a little more. IIRC, That serial number should start with a "K." I believe that Bill Jordan was presented the first Combat Magnum which had the serial K1.

    Serial does start with a K. Seems to be a first run model from 1957 or 1958. Second series moved the k to the second spot in the serial number.

    It's really a beautiful conversation piece that I took a chance on. It's a tool and it's meant to be used, it just won't be me that uses it. At the same it is a shame it was never used.
