The gun is in pretty good condition for a 1912 manufacture date. Original finish and grips, timing seems good. I just wondered if anyone had any idea what such a gun was worth. I know it has not been fired in at least 25-30 years but appears to function well. Thanks in advance.

Your idea of "pretty good condition" and my idea may not be the same.
You need to post good, clear pictures before anyone can answer your question.
I should have stated that I wasn't asking for an appraisal, but rather a ballpark guess. Pictures right now would need a lense more expensive than the gun because it is 100+ miles away tonight. I'll try to do better in the future.

Too many variables- depends on which model, which change, which barrel, degree of finish- could be a $200 revolver, could be $900. I would say an average one would be about $350.

The best guide is to view the COMPLETED auction on Guunbroker, and compare yours to the ones that sold (not asking price, SELLING price)

FWIW, I really like the 32 long with wadcutters- great little target gun. No recoil, cheap to reload- but you better be reloading, cause ammo is scarce and pricy.

Thanks, c3shooter. I'll post a picture or two tomorrow or late tonight if I am semi-awake when I get home. I know it is a 1912 manufacture date, would the serial number shed more light on the model, change, etc.? My memory is there are few markings on it, but I have not had it out in the light in a while.

These pictures are horrendous, partly because of my limited skills and using a phone to take them. Incandescent lighting is probably a factor as well, as every shot I took looks like there is surface rust on the gun which I assure you there is none. It is a yellowish reflection that I cannot get rid of. Nevertheless, here they are for what they are worth. I'm not looking to sell the gun anyway, I'm just somewhat curious about it.

There are no indications of refinishing to my limited knowledge.
