.357 50th Anniversary Revolver

Does anyone have any idea the current fair market value of the FHP's 50th Anniversary (1989) .357 Revolver in the original case and never shot? It is 1 of 350ish. I have an opportunity to buy one and have no idea it value. If I recall they went for approx. $650 new.

I'd be interested in that as well. I have one and don't even remember how much I paid for it. 650 seems high though? CRS disease...

If it happens to be a "Colt Python", jump on it! They are a collectors item and that price would be a steal.

$600-650 sounds correct. I wish I had purchased two!

Was it a Colt Python or S&W? Anyone know?

I want to buy one!
