Always interesting what some folks consider to be a reasonable price. I mean I wouldn't actually mind owning a MK III OP, but even in this market $900 seems a bit steep. And that's just the starting price, but who knows they might sell it.

Wow, someone better grab a Snickers......

You'd thought he'd at least clean it up a little before taking pictures????

I don't know much about these guns but it seem a little high in price. Actually a lot high. For me anyway its a $500 gun...

Yeah that was what I was thinking as well. Somewhere around that number.

Not a $500 gun. It's more than a $500 gun. Nickel OP MKIII's are rare and don't surface often. I've never seen one in person. The light from the flash always makes nickel worse than it really is. Only looks like light scuffing/spider webbing nickel is prone too. I'd bet a good Flitz job on it would do wonders on it.

Seems like some sellers just put dream prices on their merchandise. What they dream they could get if they were lucky, that is.

$900 may be a bit high but you may never see another nickel OP MKIII in nice condition. It's certainly a $500 + gun. Wish I could see the box.

Forgot to add in my post #5 that it's not a $500 gun but it's more than a $500 gun (I edited it). Sorry for the confusion in making you think it was not $500.

not many in nickel, but that one is no big deal. I bought an as new 4 inch blue last year for$ 425. Found the correct box for $35, If i had to havea nickel one I would only pay a premium for a 5 inch Detroit PD. Great revolvers , I have two , the aforementioned one that is a 69-70 production with recessed cylinder ,and a later one 99% with target stocks box and papers .Bought it in the 90s for $219. Got to get a time machine
