Owner of Gun Shop showed me a Colt New Service .38 Special
Ser # 334xxx. I believe about 1933 mfg. The gun is an easy 95%, showing just a trace of muzzle wear and a few handling marks. Gun has been to the range but was well cared for.
The only problem is that there is a small, about 1/4 ", chip in the heel of the left stock. Other than the chip the grips are in beautiful shape.
I don't know how much this chip effects the overall condition of the gun and the price.
There is no price on the gun as the gun is part of a three gun deal and the gun shop owner really is only interested in one of the other guns for himself. He did make the owner of the guns an offer but it was really low and I doubt the owner is going to accept it.
I am thinking of making an offer on the New Service and then the Gun Shop owner can up the overall offer for the three guns.
I just am unsure what a resonable offer on the New Service would be considering the chip in grip.
