Smith and wesson model 52

[MA5177]

My dad has a model 52 he wants to sell, I don't know much about these but do know they are a little pricey.

I told him I would list it here for him, what are they worth in good condition ?

Are they a sought after gun still these days?

In the third edition of the Standard Catalog of S&W It says $1100 NIB $950 EXC $700 VG. The book is a few years old. I hope this helps.

Keep in mind that the Model 52 is roster and AWB exempt. That's going to boost value in CA.

If you sell it here, be patient because it may take awhile to find a buyer. Don't go below market value and if you let it ride, you will find a buyer.

Saw a minty one in a LGS recently...they wanted 1,300. I thought it a bit high at that. $1,100 seems right to me. These will have a limited audience.
