Is that a pre-lock 686? Shoot, I don't even want it and I'd happily pay twice that offer for it. But that's still probably low by a few hundred. And when I say I don't even want it, I only meant I'm not in the market for one. I'd sure love to have one though.

That’s a pre-Hillary Hole 686. Can’t tell which revision  it is without seeing a photo of where the model number is marked on cylinder crane.  It should say 686 or 686-something.  
 

The lower the revision number or no revision at all, the more the gun is worth to a collector.  
 

as it looks right now a shop might try to sell it at $800-900. That means they’ll try to buy it for $300-400, so the guy who offered $300 isn’t that far off.  
 

My guess is that revolver is a late 1980s or 1990s gun due to the target style wooden grip, the polishing finish style of the steel and the SW markings.  If I were to buy it, I probably wouldn’t pay more than $450 assuming that the gun is mechanically fine.

My Condolences on Your Friend may He Rest in Peace.

God Bless Him,

right now it is Worth whatever someone is willing to pay, i had a Guy offer me $800 cash Sight unseen for my old Model 19 Combat that has been my Bump in the Night Gun for Decades.

The Market is Insane now.
