A while ago I purchased a 1978 Colt Detective Special as pictured below. .. Grips are NOT original to the gun, it came with those pachmayr grips which were pretty old so I just replaced them with those shown to make it look a bit better. Took it out, & shot a few rounds, took it apart and cleaned it real good, the Gun and seems to be very clean, tight and trigger is crisp, shoots well, and the bluing is all there. I cannot find any holster wear, seems to me like it has been a dresser drawer gun. I do however see a few small blemishes on the left side plate, nothing serious but they are there. Gun came with the little 1978 Colt DS Manual, but owner could not find the Box! I was thinking of selling this gun to raise some funds to be able to afford a used Colt 1911 Defender 3" .45 ACP. How much do you guys think I should ask for this DS, what is a fair asking price?
