That's what a rare version should go for, maybe a little more. Found a used Security Six snub but it's BEAT and they want $500. I decided to pass. Has slight rust and pitting, I know the snub nose Security Six is kind if rare since most of the snubs were the Speed Six but for as beat as it is I don't think I want to pay $500 for it.
I found the same exact one recently only it wasn't a low back version. I decided against it because it had pitting and some slight rust and they wanted too much for it. I may just be getting a 3 inch sp101, I'll know forsure in a few days
Sarco had the oversized low # walnut Jay Scott grips 6 months ago or so. I grabbed a set for right at thirty bucks. Good grief, they are OVERSIZE ! I spent a couple hours with a belt sander, dremel drums, sand paper and some tru-oil on those monsters. They now fit my hand a lot like the Herretts.
I just had to do the same thing with my Mustangs only I didn't have to put nearly as much effort. A piece broke off the right side where it partially covers the backstrap. Tried to glue it back on but couldn't clamp it down so no luck there. I said screw it and sanded both sides down to the backstrap then gave em a good smoothing and finished em with a minwax pen. They actually look pretty good but the spot that broke is brighter than the rest. I can't sand it any further so I might have to get another touch up pen in a darker shade to match it. They actually fit my hand alot better now so hopefully I found the fix I needed. If not it's back to I'll fitting Pachmayrs made for the high backs.
That's definitely a low back, if you decide you don't like the grips let me know. I can walk you through the process of making Pachmayr grips for the later models work.
