I need to get some idea of the collectible value of a Fred Schmidt Short Cylinder PPC gun that I had Fred build for me on an L-Frame 686 in the mid 80s. Out of town shooters are coming into our small town for a match this week end and one of them said a couple of months back that he's been buying PPC guns and would be interested in the Schmidt Short Cylinder.
I used the gun in the 1986 Steel Challenge and it's been sitting since that time. Lots of HBWC rounds through it, roughed up and scuffed in a few places, but a sound gun. Never shot PPC with it although it was amazingly accurate. As a used Combat-style PPC-like gun I don't think it's value is very high. But, it was one of the last short cylinder guns Fred Schmidt made and I'm wondering where I might find someone who knows something about the value of a unique gun like this ???
