Stainless Old Army 5.5" Fixed Sight Value

Thinking it may be time to pass this one along, could you guys be kind enough to give me an approximate value on it? It has the nipple wrench, papers and box it also appears unfired (I purchased it second hand so ot 100%) although has ben turned I have looked on GB and cannot find a recent comp in the sold side so thought I would ask here. TIA

Nice gun, and about a year ago, they were going for top dollar, my 'late' friend Fred P former Navy Seabee passed away and just before he did last year sold his for $1250, I had sold one at the gun show ( had a pair of them ) and the year before fred passed away we had sold them for over $850 each......
I had seen one sell on gunbroker for $1500 that was only ONE time and never saw another anywhere near that , and just what Fred had gotten........that being said it all depends on what someone is willing to pay and the "pucker factor" ( how bad does one need it....) or two drunks at any given auction and they BOTH want the same thing.........a crap shoot , good luck they are a NICE gun...... :wink:

I paid $800 NIB low serial # {Me bad... not $600, edited as I just looked it up!)for mine, had Munden Enterprises slick it up.... That was in 2013. I am still on the lookout for a blued fixed 5.5 ROA myself... I'd think between 600-800 would be the 'going' rate depending.

You can always come down or take an offer but it is difficult to go up of posted with a lower price. DED

I paid $900 for my blued 5.5 fixed sight ROA a year ago. It's never been fired but does have a turn ring. I think prices have come down since then. I had to get a letter from Ruger to find out when built /shipped because the ser.# wasn't in their serial number history range.
It just sits in the safe, not real sure if I will ever shoot it. Good luck with your sale.

Thanks all

$1000+

It sold yesterday for 1050 guys, thank you for the input and help

Well done.

Sucker born everyday. Only takes two to make an auction I usually only get one.

To own a gun to not use for $1050 makes an expensive paperweight.

A man can get a lot of pleasure out of handling & admiring a beautiful, perfectly designed and well made firearm like the one pictured..... even without ever firing it.

I certainly hear ya ... But don't understand ya . Mine are all shooters. Life is way to short to 'not' be shooting a gun that I bought ... unless it has some historical value, like this an original Colt Walker used in the Mexican War. But then it should be in a museum. Just a personal preference .

Shoot it!! The next guy will. I would put 45 grs of P Pyrodex, .457 ball and a magnum cap. Shoot until my hands turn black
