Difficult to say without seeing it, but at least $550-600 unless it has some noticeable hickies, and if it's mechanically sound. At least that's the bottom end around here.

Thank You so much.
They can go from $350-$1200 depending on where it is being sold/bought (and the condition). Really depends on where you are located in the US (or where you are wanting to buy/sell). Prices can/will vary WIDELY depending on where the gun is being sold - South, typically less expensive, West and Northeast a whole lot more, mid US, pretty average.
Advertise on line on a forum like this and some people will say that's a great deal while others from a different region will say it's way over priced.

Calfiornia's crazy laws make any double action handgun manufactured less than 50 years ago impossible to bring in from out of state. For that reason Six Series Rugers bring a premium from those of us here who know how valuable they are.
And the fixed sight models seem to be the least common here. It took me over ten years to find three examples that I wanted at a price I could afford.

Thank You, I lived in San Diego from 87-2010. I remember that. One person offered me $350. NO WAY.
I can't see the serial number or the left side of the barrel to know whether it is a pre-warning gun, but that matters for valuation. That model (GF-32) was only cataloged for a couple years (73-74) in the early pre-warning days, but some were in fact made later with the warning statement. Either way, the snubby .357 Service Six in stainless is pretty scarce. I have a 151 prefix pre-warning example in the red box, and a consecutive pair of warning guns in the 159 prefix NIB w/shippers.
Now as to CA, I had always heard that the reason Ruger -Six series DA's were not on the CA approved list was that CA DOJ required the manufacturer to send them five examples for hammer strike safety testing. And since these were already out of production when that rule went into effect, Ruger (a.) may not have had any on hand to send, and (b.) had no motivation to do so since all such guns were used and Ruger makes no money on used guns - they preferred to sell new GP100's.

Prefix is 157. No box. Grips were on when I bought it . Great shooter
Very nice
I just don't understand why people love these old six series revolvers. Oh Yeah; it's because they are great guns, just the right size, strong as all get out and look great.
Not sure about Alaska but when I was living in Idaho a clean example such as yours would go from $600 to possibly as high as $700. Obviously yours is in good condition, but another factor on price is how long you are willing to wait to get your price. The higher you price it the longer it will take to find a buyer that's willing to spend that amount of money.
